We're looking at the big things that we learned about the Chicago Bears in their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Yesterday's game was a microcosm for the "how far they've come, how far they've yet to go" feeling that this entire season has had. The Bears were not blown out by a better Broncos team, they were right there with them for the majority of the game and came within a yard and a half of tying the game with under 30 seconds to play.
It goes without saying that this game would have been a slaughter a year ago, but I am saying it anyway.
