The “Cardiac Bears”: How Chicago Rewrote NFL History in 2025

History has been made in the Windy City! The 2025 Chicago Bears have officially become the first team in NFL history to win six games in a single season after trailing in the final two minutes of regulation. This extraordinary feat has earned them the nickname “The Cardiac Bears,” a testament to their ability to thrive under immense pressure when most teams would fold.

At the heart of this revolution is the sensational rookie quarterback, Caleb Williamsโ€”now widely known as “Cardiac Caleb.” Williams has displayed a veteran-like poise that defies his age. His statistical performance in the “two-minute drill” is unparalleled, marked by an uncanny ability to extend plays and find targets like DJ Moore and rookie tight end Colston Loveland in the tightest windows. Whether it was the wild overtime thriller against the Green Bay Packers or the last-second heroics in Philadelphia, Caleb has proven that no deficit is too large to overcome.

However, this record isn’t just an offensive achievement. The Bears’ defense has evolved into a unit that simply refuses to quit. Led by the relentless pass rush of Montez Sweat and the sideline-to-sideline range of Tremaine Edmunds, the defense has consistently provided the “stops” necessary to give the ball back to their offense. Their goal-line stands in Las Vegas and crucial turnovers forced late in games have turned “impossible” scenarios into “routine” victories.
