Bears fans aren't overly optimistic about team's playoff chances

The Chicago Bears had one of their more satisfying wins of 2019 in their 24-20 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. It's not because the Lions were a challenging opponent; instead, it's because quarterback Mitch Trubisky finally looked like a franchise quarterback.

Trubisky's game-winning 90-yard drive in the fourth quarter was the kind of ice-in-the-veins quarterbacking Chicago's been craving since before Jay Cutler arrived in 2009, and it was the kind of play that can catapult the Bears into legitimate contender status if it happens on a consistent basis.

Unfortunately, Trubisky's been anything but consistent in 2019 and the Bears are 6-6 as a result.
