We’re only a week removed from the devastating loss in the NFC Wild Card round, and Chicago Bears fans are still recovering from the hangover. Yes, the Bears did greatly exceed expectations this season and opened the eyes of many opposing teams. However, even with the unexpected fortune, Chicago could have been in a much better position this postseason had they won at least one more game in the regular season.
As we all know, the Bears finished 2018 with a 12-4 record, which earned them the third seed in the NFC. The two teams ranked ahead of them were the New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Rams, who were first and second in the conference respectively.
