Good morning. Last week the division cooperated, and the Bears’ critical fumbles against the Giants turned into sighs of relief. As every team lost, the Bears’ situation to clinch the NFC North stays the same: Up 1.5 in the division, needing three “positive outcomes” (Bears wins, Vikings losses) out of eight remaining.
Tonight’s game is one heck of a first game of that stretch.
The Bears welcome the Rams into Soldier Field tonight and, well, I admit that out of habit I started typing “St. Louis,” but that doesn’t make the Rams any less dangerous.
