MIAMI, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Hall of Famer Mike Singletary praised the 2025 Chicago Bears' fight, but told UPI he hopes to see consistent dominance from the Caleb Williams-led roster in 2026.

The Bears, who posted the NFL's No. 6 offense and No. 29 defense, were a roller-coaster watch. Singletary witnessed his former team lose their first two games before winning nine of their next 10. They went on to overcome a 21-3 deficit against the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round to win their first playoff game in 15 years.

"This year, they earned the title fighters," Singletary said. "They were fighters until the end of the game. Cardiac arrest kids, when I look at them this year. Next year, they've gotta start it at the beginning."

The 2025 Bears rallied to victories seven times after trailing in the final two minutes of games, the most instances by an NFL team since 1970. They were aided by a league-best plus-22 turnover differential.
