At long last.
After a brutal eight consecutive years of missing the playoffs, their longest such streak in the Chicago Bears’ franchise history, they have clinched a spot in the playoffs as champions of the NFC North. This marks the first time since 2006 when the Bears have clinched the division title playing at home on Soldier Field. What’s more, is they became the latest team to go from worst-to-first within their own division in any two-year span.
And damn, does it feel good.
I, along with everyone else in the Bears’ fanbase, were all originally told that this team had no shot at winning the division.
