Where the Bears rank statistically heading into Week 13

The Chicago Bears will battle the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, where Chicago is looking to win their ninth game in the last 10 while remaining in first place in the NFC North.

After mounting a league-best five comeback wins this season, the Bears finally proved they can preserve a fourth quarter lead. Chicago managed to hold off an Aaron Rodgers-less Steelers squad amid a laundry list of injuries, including their top three linebackers and two best cornerbacks. The Bears offense posted 31 points, Chicago's defense forced two turnovers and held Pittsburgh to seven points in the second half and Ben Johnson's team continues to roll.

With Week 13 upon us, how did the Bears compare to the rest of the NFL after this season? Looking at the major metrics (courtesy of Team Rankings, ESPN, NFL.com and Football Database), here is where Chicago ranked following Week 12?
