Bears tight end Cole Kmet, who grew up a Bears fan in Lake Barrington, knows fans at Soldier Field on Sunday might not be in the holiday spirit.
“I know what the expectations were coming into this season. I definitely understand the narratives and what goes around,” Kmet said. “[It’s] totally understandable. I always say, ‘Fans can fan how they want.’ I don’t blame how the reaction’s been. Definitely not what we expected this year. Obviously not what the fans expected.”
The Bears return to Soldier Field for the first time in a month when they play the Lions.
