Who’s afraid of the big, bad…
Seahawks?
Packers?
Eagles?
Not really. As the Bears head toward the playoffs, the field is wide open.
There is no juggernaut. Any opponent like the Chiefs’ dynasty teams, the Eagles’ recent loaded rosters or the Rams when Aaron Donald led their defense would’ve been a certain dead end, but that roadblock doesn’t exist this season. It’s perfect timing for an upstart.
In the craziest of Bears seasons, the craziest part is that the idea of going to the Super Bowl isn’t so crazy.
