D’Andre Swift had his most efficient effort in Week 6. Is the Chicago Bears running game turning a corner? Here are three reasons it might be.

Bears tight end Cole Kmet hurt his back against the Saints and is doubtful to return Sunday. Kmet was injured in the third quarter. He had one catch for 16 yards before leaving the game. The tight end has been remarkably healthy during his Bears career, missing only one game in his five-and-a-half years with the team.

Several states had been issued winter weather advisories by the National Weather Service (NWS) as of early Sunday, with up to 16 inches of snow possible in some parts of the country.

Former Washington Commanders and current Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat got revenge on his former team late in the first quarter. Sweat punched the ball out on Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, putting the Bears in Washington territory.

The Bears are averaging 8.6 penalties per game, and had some glaring — and questionable — ones Monday night. But they overcame them to win.
