Bears defensive end Montez Sweat went into this season with high hopes for something new. He envisioned himself making the leap from good to All-Pro, and with it, playing on a winning team for the first time in his seven-year career.
It has been a thudding letdown. Sweat has battled injuries and managed just 3 1/2 and would need a serious surge over the final seven games to get back to double digits, and meanwhile, the Bears have plunged with four consecutive losses.
