CHICAGO — Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears weren’t offering any apologies.

They pulled out a win, even if it was yet another tight one, and that's what mattered most. They know they have room to improve, too.

“We’re an 8-3 team in the National Football League,” Williams said. “We feel good where we’re at, but we do got to get better. I would say, yeah, we don’t feel like we’re the same old Bears. We pull through for each other when it matters most.”

The Bears hung on to beat Pittsburgh 31-28 on Sunday with Chicago's old nemesis Aaron Rodgers sidelined by a broken left wrist, after rallying in the final two minutes the previous three weeks. With their eighth win in nine games, they maintained a slim lead in the NFC North over Green Bay (7-3-1) and Detroit (7-4).
