The Chicago Bears have won three of their first four games. That's the part everyone can see.

They exploded for 59 points against the Carolina Panthers. They were held to three in their only loss against the Minnesota Vikings. They dominated the Philadelphia Eagles with Case Keenum at quarterback. Then, on Sunday, they dominated the New York Jets so convincingly that Chicago finished with 34 first downs while New York ran only 32 offensive plays.

So, yes, the Bears are 3-1.
