Who will hold the NFL "Championship Belt" by the end of the 2023 regular season?
The "Championship Belt" concept comes from boxing/wresting and is the idea that every season, the previous years champion (here the Super Bowl) starts with the belt, and each time they lose they pass the belt to the winning team who becomes the new sole owner.
The concept is explained here:

The Chicago Bears currently hold the 2023 championship belt from last year given their win over the Jaguars in Week 6.
Week 0: Steelers
Week 1: Steelers defended against Falcons
Week 2: Steelers defended against Broncos
Week 3: Steelers defended against Chargers
Week 4: Colts take belt from Steelers
Week 5: Jaguars take belt from Colts
Week 6: Bears take belt from Jaguars
Week 7: Bears attempt to defend against Bye Week
Week 8: Commanders take belt from Bears
Week 9: Commanders defended against Giants
Week 10: Steelers take belt from Commanders
Week 11: Steelers defended against Ravens
Week 12: Browns take belt from Steelers
Week 13: Browns attempt to defend belt against Broncos
Week 14:
Week 15:
Week 16:
Week 17:
Week 18:
This market closes at the conclusion of the regular season, resolving simply with the team who holds the belt after Week 18. I'll update each week with the current owner of the belt. As a fun edge case, a tie would resolve in a division into two different belts (and could resolve for multiple teams). It's very possible this belt could collapse into the same teams as the new 2024 belt (but it wouldn't change how this resolves).
