The Chicago Bears have been in great form of late and most recently secured a win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8.
The Bears are now 6-2 for the season and they have earned top spot in Tom Brady's NFL power rankings after the latest round of games.
When revealing his rankings to Fox Sports, Brady did say that he initially had the Buffalo Bills in first place when he was thinking about his list.
However, he goes on to say that there is 'something about the vibe in Chicago' that 'sold' him on putting the Bears ahead of the Bills.
Brady said: "I had them [the Bills] at number one when I first started thinking about this list. They're definitely deserving, but I had another idea.
"Well, last week I asked if Chicago could go from five to one with a win in Seattle, and I'm a man of my word.
"The Bears went into Seattle on Monday night and handled their business. D'Andre Swift scored three times, and when Seattle made it a one-score game late, Chicago answered and oh yeah, Jeffery Simmons is anchoring the defence from now on. No big deal, right? Look, these are power rankings, not standings. And there's something about the vibe in Chicago that sold me on giving them the top spot.
"But with great power comes great responsibility, right? Let's see what Caleb can do next."
The Bears are now preparing to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this coming Sunday.
Tampa are 3-5 for the season and beat the Atlanta Falcons in their Week 8 matchup.
