Is it weird how excited I was to watch the depleted Chicago Bears defense against Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson? I just assumed it’d be a train wreck, but I was genuinely looking forward to what the defensive coaches would come up with to help their secondary out. Sure the Bears ended up losing, but if the performances from Robert Quinn, Akiem Hicks, and Thomas Graham Jr. didn’t at least put a small smile on your face, then you may as well not even watch the last three games.
The Bears are “mathematically” out of it, but they’ve been realistically out of it for weeks now.
