Coming off of a difficult loss can be good or bad. After the season opening loss to the Packers, the Bears went on a 3-game winning streak. Could we see the start of another winning streak against the New England Patriots?
Both teams are coming off of emotionally—and physically—draining games. The Patriots won their game, and against on conference opponent that could be a playoff preview. The Bears on the other hand lost to a team in a different conference, it was in the way that they lost that made it draining.
