Bill Belichick Hypes Bears' Joe Thuney After Trade from Chiefs amid Super Bowl Push

Chicago Bears guard Joe Thuney has won nine division titles in 10 NFL seasons with the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears. It's a wild track stat, and his first NFL coach remains impressed by it.

"I think Joe's record speaks for itself," North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick, who coached Thuney in New England, told The Athletic's Mike Sando. "I can't imagine that any player has a better record with three different organizations!"

As Sando noted, Thuney's 136 wins are the most among all NFL players since 2016.

The Bears traded for Thuney in the offseason, sending the Chiefs a 2026 fourth-rounder. The two-time Pro Bowler has made a difference for a Bears team is third in the NFL in rushing offense this season (149.4 YPG) and is headed to the postseason for the first time since 2020 after winning its first divisional title since 2018.
