This is the biggest game the Bears have had in a while. It’s been so long since they were even in the division race, let alone playing to keep sole possession of first place.
Yet here we are, and this is a game that proves that the rebuild is over and this team is ready to compete. Just how competitive they are will hopefully be answered Sunday night on the shore of Lake Michigan.
The Bears have a young quarterback still finding his way in the NFL, with supporters pointing to his recent performances to say he’s turned a corner, while the detractors comb over the advanced stats and every missed throw to say that he’s still not ready for prime time.
