The Chicago Bears weren't the same old Bears in Week 4's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The same old Bears would've choked in the fourth quarter and lost a one-score game to a team that, on paper, Chicago is superior to.
Instead, these Chicago Bears, the Ben Johnson Bears, blocked Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson's game-winning field goal attempt with seconds remaining to play.
The Bears moved to 2-2 and are riding a wave of momentum into their bye week.
Wins like this have the national media changing their tune on the Bears and quarterback Caleb Williams, who led Chicago's fourth-quarter game-winning drive, one that resulted in a D'Andre Swift touchdown run with less than two minutes remaining.
One of those national media pundits is former Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden, who now provides NFL commentary for Barstool Sports.
Gruden publishes a weekly video that highlights teams or players who have him feeling "nicey." It's a hilarious bit, and the Chicago Bears were highlighted after Week 4.
Bears Nation is feeling nicey, too, coach.
Check out the video below:
I love it when teams overcome adversity… it gets me feelin’ really NICEY!
