It may sound weird to say for a team that has lost five of their last six games, but the Chicago Bears are trending in the right direction—especially on the offensive side of the ball.
To start the season, quarterback Justin Fields looked like his second year wasn’t going to be much better than his disappointing rookie season. But he’s now strung together a couple of really solid performances, including last week’s record-breaking performance that earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
But the downfall of the Bears has been their defense, which has kept them out of the win column most weeks, and a couple of big trades aren’t going to help that side of the ball going forward.
