Bears tackling daunting history in 2020 finale
Packers receiver Randall Cobb (18, in this file photo) has burned the Bears many times in his career, but never more painfully than his 48-yard touchdown reception with 38 seconds left to give the Packers a 33-28 victory in the 2013 season finale at Soldier Field that gave the Packers the NFC North title and cost the Bears a playoff berth. Bears safeties coach Sean Desai habitually and repeatedly implores his players to go after every loose ball in practice. It’s a common tack for any defensive coach to instill a takeaway mentality.
