The Bears are ranked 15th in the NFL by ESPN

“The kids are all right. We saw some eye-popping stretches of play from Chicago's rookie class. Tight end Colston Loveland was quiet for the first two months of the season, but from Nov. 1 onward, he was second among all tight ends in receiving yards (597) and yards per route run (2.4). The 10th pick then added a 137-yard performance in the win over the Packers in the wild-card round. There's a reasonable chance
Loveland leads all tight ends in receiving yardage this season.

Luther Burden III just needed more playing time. Over that same time frame, Burden averaged 2.9 yards per route run, which ranked fourth among wide receivers.
Rome Odunze's injury opened up a larger role for Burden down the stretch, and he delivered with a 138-yard game against the 49ers in December. His catch rate (78.3%) won't stick, but he's going to be a real threat after the catch. Throw in Kyle Monangai's efficient year as the team's between-the-tackles back, and few offenses got more from their rookie playmakers in 2025.

Of course, offensive architect Ben Johnson, quarterback Caleb Williams and a much improved offensive line likely deserve some of the credit for the offensive success too. And it wasn't all roses. Odunze's injury kept him from making the second-year leap many expected. DJ Moore took a step backward and was traded to the Bills. Replacing Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus with Kalif Raymond and third-round pick Zavion Thomas is a likely step backward. And while D'Andre Swift had his best year as a pro, I lean more toward Johnson and the line driving that success than any sort of massive shift from the veteran RB.”
