It feels like forever since Halas Hall was jubilant. The Mile High Miracle was more than a month ago, and that joy ride fizzled fast with kicker Eddy Pineiro landing on the injury report by the end of the week.
It’s been a bumpy ride for the Bears through the first month and a half of their season, and the team that came in talking about not only a Super Bowl run, but launching a dynasty, is now clinging to respectability at 3-2.
But in the surest sign of coach Matt Nagy’s credibility within his locker room, the Bears seem to have adopted his ever-sunny disposition.
