The Bears’ road to a playoff spot is getting rockier each week, and their next stop is a visit to the defending champion Eagles on Friday. There will be no letup over the final six games, especially when it comes to the opposing defenses.
New coach Ben Johnson has dramatically flipped the Bears’ offense into one of the NFL’s best after eight consecutive seasons sitting 20th or worse in yardage and six in a row in the bottom half in scoring. With their 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday, vaulting themselves to 8-3, they’re eighth in the league at 26.
