It fits so well together: The Bears win a Super Bowl in a season in which they celebrate their 100th year. Kismet. Symmetry. Stars lined up obediently.
Perfect, right?
Too perfect?
I’m fighting myself here, and it’s not pretty. Good Rick vs. Bad Rick.
Good Rick: The Bears went 12-4 last season and won the NFC North. There’s every reason to expect they’ll build on that success in 2019, all the way to Miami, site of Super Bowl LIV.
Bad Rick: It would be so like the Bears to put all their energy into celebrating history instead of making it.
