CHICAGO -- Mike Ditka was everywhere on Thursday night. 

Bears fans filled Soldier Field for the primetime matchup between the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots with sweater vests and adhesive mustaches to honor the legendary Bears coach. Thursday marked the first game at Soldier Field since Ditka died.

Before the national anthem, Ditka was honored with a moment of silence. The Bears had a flag with his No. 89 and there was a football with his number painted in on the sideline.

The Bears were far from perfect in this game, and Rhamondre Stevenson's 48-yard touchdown right before the end of the half would have made Ditka lose his absolute mind. But the Bears found a way to leave the Week 7 matchup with a 30-24 victory over the Patriots. 

Here are the five players who raised or lowered their stock in the Week 7 win.

The Chicago Bears' quarterback was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Falcons last Sunday. He completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and a touchdown. 

He didn't have that same efficiency against the Patriots, but he still finished the game with 308 passing yards and two touchdowns, connecting with tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden III. 

Williams showed his elusiveness in this game, maneuvering the pocket to make throws downfield. On third-and-11 with the offense backed up on their own 13-yard line, Williams side stepped a potential sack and fired a ball over the middle of the field to Rome Odunze for a 21-yard gain to convert the chains. 

With Williams back in the Bears' offense, head coach Ben Johnson has the lead conductor to operate a unit that seeks explosives. This offense is going to be tough to stop as he continues to stack games. 

Williams called Burden a "problem child" earlier in the week, but meant that in the best way possible. The team wants to get him the ball as much as possible. After Burden caught all eight of his targets for 95 yards last week against the Atlanta Falcons, head coach Ben Johnson kept that momentum going against the Patriots. 

The Bears' receiver has a knack for creating explosive plays. Williams connected with his receiver for a 26-yard gain to start the game. On the Bears' first touchdown drive, Burden caught a pass in the middle of the field and made it a catch-and-run for a 58-yard gain. Running back D'Andre Swift scored a touchdown on the next play. 

Burden ended the Bears' next touchdown drive. With the offense facing a third-and-17, Williams completed a quick screen to his right and Burden followed his blocks, staying patient and scored a 24-yard touchdown. 

The second-year receiver ended the game with 130 receiving yards and one touchdown on four receptions. 

The Chicago Bears' nickel cornerback picked up where he left off from his dominant performance against the Atlanta Falcons. Gordon ended the Patriots' first offensive drive by sacking quarterback Drake Maye on fourth-and-5 to turn the ball over on downs. 

On the Patriots' third offensive possession, Gordon helped make a tackle for loss on third-and-8. Gordon continues to find ways to impact the game and doing so with limited snaps. 

Once he is able to play more of a complete game, his coverage ability will be a huge asset to this Bears defense. 

Gordon finished the game with five total tackles, three solo and two tackles for loss. 

The Bears' running back looked like his old self in the win over the Patriots. He ran the ball 22 times for 78 yards and a touchdown. He also caught all four of his passes thrown his way for 12 yards. 

Swift had a 10-yard run in the fourth quarter and bounced off some tacklers. After the play, he looked towards the end zone and shrugged his shoulders. That's the Swift the Bears need to help fuel their run game. 

It wasn't Swift's biggest statistical game on the ground, but he did play 55 snaps and did so on a short week.  

The Bears' veteran cornerback continues to play with bad technique, something that has impacted him throughout this entire season. Quarterback Drake Maye escaped the pocket late in the second quarter and juked inside of Johnson for a 15-yard gain.

D'Marco Jackson intercepted Maye on the next play, saving Johnson after the Patriots reached Chicago's 15-yard line. 

The Patriots had :03 seconds before the end of the half and called a screen to running back Rhamondre Stevenson. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen rushed six defenders, and Maye threw a short pass to Stevenson, who then followed his blocks and somehow, someway found himself in the end zone for a 48-yard touchdown. The Bears has an entire unit took bad angles towards the ball carrier, but there was Johnson, again, not even close to making a play. 

Johnson was also called for a pass interference call late in the fourth quarter.

If the Bears truly hold players accountable, a serious discussion needs to be had about Johnson and his playing time going forward

Honorable Mentions:

Stock Up: D'Marco Jackson 

The Bears' linebacker has cemented himself as far more than a depth piece on this defense. Jackson continues to make plays and his interception on Drake Maye in the second quarter was huge, especially since the Patriots just scored a touchdown on the previous drive. 

Williams and the offense turned that takeaway into a touchdown to Burden right before half time. 

Stock Up: Cairo Santos

The Bears' kicker went 3 of 4 on field goal attempts and made all three of his extra points. His miss, a 53-yard yard attempt, had plenty of leg. The ball just hit the right post. 

But head coach Ben Johnson didn't hesitate to give Santos another opportunity, but from 58 yards out. Santos drilled the field goal, setting a new career high for himself. 

The team expressed confidence just by allowing Santos to attempt the field goal after just missing his previous kick. After converting the 58-yard attempt, everyone in the building, including Santos, should feel good about the Bears' situation at kicker.
