The Past:

“And there’s a FAKE [punt], and carrying the ball is Barkevious Mingo, the linebacker, and he gets a first down!”

Coming out of the 2019 season, the Bears knew they had to go all-out for 2020. Khalil Mack’s contract was about to make things tough in free agency, they were again about to miss out on a first round pick, and the defense which had carried them all throughout 2018 was banged up and getting old.
