Since their embarrassing season-opening loss to the Packers, the Bears have changed direction.
They’re at a crossroads, in a sense, with their three consecutive victories just about canceling out the mysterious ineptitude of that 10-3 home-field surrender.
Crossroads always give folks pause. Which way are we going here, boss?
But just when it seemed Aaron Rodgers and his mates once again were dumping the Bears into also-ran status, here came the victories.
And then the Packers lost 34-27 to the Eagles on Thursday at Lambeau Field, and — voila! — the Bears are tied with them atop the NFC North.
