What happened: Terron Armstead stated on NFL on CBS that he favors the Chicago Bears to win the NFC North after acquiring defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Chicago acquired Simmons from the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 29 in exchange for two first-round draft picks.

Why it matters: The defensive tackle bolsters Chicago's interior front as the team aims to secure its first divisional title in eight seasons. Simmons absorbed a $7.9 million cap hit while solidifying a unit that allowed just 17 points in Seattle.

By the numbers: Simmons has recorded 44 tackles with 5 sacks in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: Chicago continues its regular-season push ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline as front offices evaluate further roster additions.
