Good morning. Remember that time when the Bears were .500? Me neither, because after dropping to that record following two losses to the Dolphins and Patriots, the Bears reeled off five straight, including a three-game divisional gauntlet in twelve days, as they rocketed to a game and a half lead in the NFC North.
Playing relevant football in December for the first time in four years and with the Vikings hot on their tails, the Bears have a chance to try to seal the division in the next few weeks, and if they’re going to do that, a win this week against the Giants is fairly imperative.
