It’s ridiculous that the Bears had their off week after their 13th game. It would matter more if they were in contention, but it’s still not great. Football is so brutal, and now with an extra game, teams are figuratively and literally limping into their bye. The serendipity of the Bears’ situation is that Justin Fields’ injury happened late in the season, so it works out that he could rehab with the time off.
