Montez Sweat and Jaylon Johnson are the two Bears players nominated for the Pro Bowl this season. Sweat joined the team midway through the season via trade and he's been an absolute beast. Through 17 games played, he's recorded 32 total tackles (10 for a loss), 6.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.

The Bears' defense has been solid in the back half of this season. Sweat and Johnson are both deserving of being nominated to the Pro Bowl.
The Bears take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 18. Montez Sweat and Jaylon Johnson will have one more game to pad their stats. It'll be interesting to see how Chicago plays on Sunday. If the team wins, they'll finish the season with an 8-9 record. It's certainly not the best, but this team has made considerable progress since last year.
Look for the Bears to do everything possible to win in Week 18, as they'll have a chance to knock the Packers out of the playoffs.
