Oft-maligned Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky put together his most prolific passing performance of the year in a season-saving 24-20 Thanksgiving victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday.
But it's too little, too late for Trubisky and the 2019 Bears, who remain 2.5 games out of a playoff spot at 6-6 and close out the campaign with four consecutive matchups against teams that are currently above .500.
The victory at Ford Field increased the Bears' playoff odds at FiveThirtyEight from 3 percent to...4 percent. They know, we know, and deep down, Bears fans all know that the 2019 version of this team just doesn't have what it takes to contend in the stacked NFC.
