For the first time since I took over writing these game previews a couple of years ago, I don’t have to write a short eulogy on the season and include phrases like ‘last Bears game until September’ or ‘enjoy it because a long offseason will start Monday.’
That’s right, there will be a postseason run to talk about. The stress level will be higher and there will be no guarantee of a next week but this will be fun.
But there is still the matter of Sunday’s game to talk about. The Vikings are playing for their own playoff life and the Bears have seeding implications at play.
