The Chicago Bears can still make the playoffs, but how much of a long-shot is it?
Based on the mess that Phil Emery left the Chicago Bears roster in when he was ousted as general manager last year, and the litany of injuries that have plagued the roster this year, it would have been incredibly ambitious for anyone to mention the Bears and the word 'playoffs' in the same sentence for at least another season.
But new head coach John Fox has somehow managed to instill a game-plan week after week that has not only allowed the Bears to be competitive, but also has us discussing the potential of a post-season playoff berth.
