Another game that came down to the wire, and there were definitely some clenched butts in that second half, but this time the Bears stepped up, instead of down, and held on for the 24-17 win.
There will still be hand-wringing of course, and why wouldn’t there be? Mitch Trubisky was still up and down, there wasn’t quite as much Jordan Howard in the second half, but it ended with a W, and that was the most important thing.
This was a big bounce-back for a team, and fanbase, that was very vulnerable in the middle of the fourth quarter.
