A victory over the limping Lions isn’t a corner being turned for the Bears — it’s a mirage

The Bears won Sunday. That’s a sentence that hasn’t been written since humans first learned how to control fire.

You would think there’d be good feelings associated with such a thing, but it didn’t escape the notice of the bleaker among us that their opponent was without its best player and without what is commonly known as “a defense.’’

The Bears are talking about building off of their 20-13 takedown of the Lions, but because the victory came without Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford on the field, we should probably have a conversation about the structural integrity of the whole operation.
