Sunday's game was one they would've lost in past years, but the Chicago Bears pulled out a 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals to move to 5-3 on the season.

With the time before Tuesday afternoon's trade deadline now best measured in hours, what the Bears might do becomes interesting. Mortgaging future draft capital for a short-term solution in Ben Johnson's first year as head coach doesn't seem practical, but general manager Ryan Poles also can't ignore being in the playoff hunt, and he should be eyeing moves that make sense.
