The Chicago Bears are 4-2 heading into Thursday night's matchup against the New England Patriots, and an interesting story is developing beneath their winning record.

The players leading the team in our BearsTalk BTX grades aren't necessarily the ones you'd expect.

Instead, a rookie safety leads the Bears, a running back who hasn't played since Week 4 remains among the NFL's best at his position, and a young edge rusher has quietly established himself as one of Chicago's most valuable defenders.
