Conditioned by this awful season to think the worst, Bears fans were well within their rights to believe that the team was going to do them unspeakably wrong as Sunday’s game against the Packers progressed.
Interim head coach Thomas Brown had already experienced his regularly scheduled brain freeze in the fourth quarter, and the Packers had already taken a late lead at Lambeau Field. The only question was how the Bears were going to lose their 11th straight game this season and their 12th straight game against Green Bay.
