The Bears needed an ugly win like this. Now, never do it again.
Sometimes, it’s good to win ugly. After all, what do you learn from steamrolling everyone and making things look easy all the time?
That’s the silver lining I’m trying to take from the Chicago Bears’ messy 27-24 walk-off win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.
I, like many, scoffed at the idea that the then-3-5 Bucs would “humble” the Bears the way several analysts had suggested Tampa would. And for the first quarter or so of action, it looked like we’d be right.
Unfortunately, we weren’t.
