The Chicago Bears entered Sunday with a very small chance at making the post-season, but at the end of the day, couldn't dispose of a weary Washington Redskins team that are going through significant challenges themselves.
There were flashes of potential, like when the team kept fighting despite being down 21-7 in the 3rd quarter, and ended up closing the gap to 21-21. At one point, it seemed that the momentum would continue, but for the 6th time this season, Robbie Gould missed a field goal, and Chicago's chances finally ended. The Bears lost 24-21, and won't enjoy having to review film later this week.
