The Monsters of the Midway appear to have returned to Chicago this season — at least when it comes to taking the ball away from opponents.

That 1985 Bears team led the NFL in fewest points allowed (12.4 per game) en route to winning a Super Bowl championship. This season’s Bears squad is in the bottom third of the league, allowing 26.4 per game.

However, it is forcing turnovers at a 1985 Bears pace.

The 2025 Bears defense features three players with at least four interceptions — Kevin Byard III, Tremaine Edmunds and Nahshon Wright. They’re the first team since the 2011 Green Bay Packers to have three different players with at least four INTs through the first 10 games of a season. They’re also the first Bears team to do so since that 1985 season.

“It’s kind of been the story of our wins, right?” Bears head coach Ben Johnson said after Sunday’s 19-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings. “We know how important that statistic is of taking care of the football on offense and getting our takeaways on defense. Most of these seven wins that we’ve had, we’ve been winning that turnover battle. So, no secret to us, no secret to our opponents.”

Through 10 games, the Bears’ 22 takeaways are the most in the NFL.

Byard, who recorded his fifth interception of the season in Sunday’s win, leads the NFL in that category.

Tied for second with four interceptions are teammates Edmunds and Wright, as well as Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd.

Wright, whom the Vikings released in April, recorded an interception off Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy for the second time this season.

With the help of Cairo Santos’ game-winning field goal, the Bears improved to 6-0 this season when they force at least two turnovers in a game.
