It’s officially ranking season. You know, that time of year when free agents, draft prospects and team Twitter accounts get listed from best to worst and somewhere in between.
Wait, what? Team Twitter accounts?
Yes, Team Twitter accounts.
And guess what, Bears fans? Your favorite team’s account is elite. It ranked second-best among NFL Twitter follows by Complex Sports.
Chicago was a force to be reckoned with this season—and Bears fans were also privy to one of the best Twitter accounts in the NFL.

There isn’t much humor on this account, but it’s not needed—the Bears’ Twitter has a striking, carefully curated aesthetic. We imagine players would want to play for a team with a Twitter like this.
The Bears took notice, and a few notes, for how to become the league’s best account next year. They responded, obviously, with this tweet:
Here’s to hoping the Bears — and their Twitter account — rein supreme in 2019.
