The Bears don’t have to apologize for the Nerf portion of their schedule, but if they want to make a donation to their favorite charity as a show of gratitude, that would be nice.
The spongy part started with a 36-10 victory over the not-very-good Panthers last week and continues Sunday with a game in London against the also-not-very-good Jaguars. After a bye and what appears to be a serious Week 8 opponent in the Commanders, it’s back to Easier Street with games against the Cardinals and Patriots.
