Will the Bears trade the No. 1 pick? GM Ryan Poles faces major decisions

CHICAGO – Minutes after the Chicago Bears suffered their franchise-worst 10th straight loss on Sunday, Houston Texans coach Lovie Smith had a decision to make in Indianapolis: Go for two and the win over the Colts, which would hand the No. 1 overall draft pick to the Bears, or go for the tie.

Smith, who coached the Bears from 2004-12, went for the win, and Mills and Akins connected on the conversion as the Texans won the game, and the Bears won the day with their first No. 1 overall pick since 1947.
