Martellus Bennett, who landed on Friday’s injury report with a quad injury that has the tight end questionable for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, has little difficulty being blunt. And Bennett’s perspective on playing an 0-5 team (Detroit) is not that the Lions are abysmal so much is that but for a handful of plays, a 2-3 Bears team might have been looking at precisely that record.
“It's the NFL,” Bennett said. “I mean, we could easily be 0-5 right now. There's just a couple plays here and there.”
Which is typically the way in the NFL, any year.
