All that mattered Sunday was that the Bears found a way to escape with a win over the Giants in the final minutes.
Everything that led to them being in such a desperate, adverse situation faded, for the day, in the glow of a 24-20 victory that got them to their high-water mark of the past five years at 6-3. The offense stalled and the defense faltered most of the game, but they’ll reckon with those problems another day.
Victories of any variety should be celebrated, but when the Bears come down from this high, they’ll weigh that late surge against putting themselves in that position in the first place.
