Kyle Long was once again the most consistent player on the Bears' offensive line. Switching from right guard to right tackle wasn’t much of a problem, and the third-year pro was named to his third Pro Bowl.

4. Tracy Porter

Chicago’s defense finished fourth in the NFL against the pass this season, something Porter played a major role in. His 12 passes defensed tied a career-high. The eight-year veteran’s best game of the season came against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, when Porter deflected four passes and picked off another in the team's’ biggest victory of the year.

Houston, who tore his ACL in 2014, bounced back from having reconstructive knee surgery and led the Bears with a career-high eight sacks. His comeback story is truly remarkable.

2015 was arguably the best season in Cutler's entire career. His importance was greatly felt during his absence in Week 3, when the Bears were blown out by the Seattle Seahawks. Cutler put Chicago in position to win late in numerous games, and he will have plenty of chances to do the same in 2016.
