It’s now December and teams are really aware of where they are headed.
Unfortunately for our Chicago Bears, it is in the wrong direction. Sure, they’re going to be squarely on TV in the “in the hunt” column for one or two more weeks, depending on their fortunes and those of their opponents, but even if they flip the script, they aren’t making any noise in the playoffs. This team has no run lurking below the surface for them.
As for their opponent, the Lions are already on to their GM and coach search and another top-10 pick.
