Jeffrey Simmons has made the Bears look like Super Bowl contenders

On The Ringer Fantasy Football Show, the Bears’ trade for Jeffrey Simmons and their 34-17 win over Seattle prompted discussion of them as NFC Super Bowl favorites.[1]

On The Right Time with Bomani Jones, Diante Lee argued that Jeffrey Simmons’s arrival changed Chicago’s defense because of his rare size, speed, strength and finishing ability.[2]

On First Take, Stephen A. Smith said Chicago’s defense improved exponentially with Jeffrey Simmons, while Dan Orlovsky said his arrival made the defense good enough to support a championship-level offense.[3][4]

On Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul, Max Kellerman said Jeffrey Simmons changed the Bears from a team without a Super Bowl defense into one capable of winning it.[5]

The shows differ on how far that change goes: ESPN’s Leaguewide called Chicago a Super Bowl contender, while Fantasy Football Happy Hour noted Tampa Bay’s Bucky Irving still produced against a defense featuring Jeffrey Simmons.[6][7]
