LAKE FOREST – Most NFL teams that have MVP candidates on both sides of the ball end up in the playoffs and quite often earn a trip to a Super Bowl.
It has been forever and a day since the Bears fit that bill, but that worm may be about to turn.
The 2006 Bears had MVP and future Hall Of Famer Brian Urlacher on defense, but the offense was lacking.
Yes, there was All Pro center Olin Kreutz and Devin Hester, who belongs in the Hall of Fame, but Hester was a special teams guy with limited touches of the football, and centers rarely, actually never drive offenses.
