Since the turn of the millennium, Chicago has only made it through to the postseason six times - 衝突，墜落ing out at the first 障害物 on four occasions. The team has not reached a 最高の Bowl for の近くに to 20 years.

Yet with two first-一連の会議、交渉／完成する 選ぶs now in their 階級s for the 2024 season, there is a feeling that 兵士 Field could be 勧めるing in one of the most exciting new 時代s in its 124-year history.

The 耐えるs have just three プレーオフ 外見s since the 2006 team 前進するd to the 最高の Bowl. And in two of them, they failed to 前進する. Chicago's 孤独な 最高の Bowl 支持する／優勝者 remains the 1985 team, but there's certainly a buzz blowing through the 風の強い City.

'That doesn't mean that I go around and 誇る. That doesn't mean that I go around and say that. But the way I 扱う my work, the way I carry myself every day, how I 扱う／治療する my friends, family, チーム仲間s, the faculty, the (n)役員／(a)執行力のあるs here, the custodians, whatever the 事例／患者 may be - 扱う／治療する everybody as they are, we're all equal and everybody should think that they're the best when you do things and you work so hard for stuff.'

Williams, who held up a No. 1 jersey on 草案 night, will wear No. 18 in Chicago. His number at USC - 13 - is taken by Allen.

'He brings a unique 技術 始める，決める. He's very 確信して in the pocket, very 確信して 延長するing a play, and the play is never over until the whistle is blown, you know that.'
