Christmas Rick is here, ready to spread good cheer about the Bears, with a lot of help from the Jaguars. I mean a lot of help from the Jaguars.
The Bears took one step closer to the postseason with a 41-17 victory Sunday. If they beat Green Bay next week or if Arizona cooperates with a loss to the Rams, they’re in. Considering that their sixth loss in a six-game losing streak came in the first week of December, a playoff berth would be something of a Christmas miracle.
Because I’m trying to stay in the holiday spirit, I won’t belabor just how bad their opponent was Sunday.
