Never say die. It’s an attitude that serves the best football teams when they’re down and out. It’s a mentality the desperate Bears have to carry him with them through the rest of the 2020 season.
At 6-7, already down one game to Arizona, and head-to-head tiebreakers sitting in the Vikings’ favor, Chicago has only a 20 percent chance to make this year’s playoffs. That’s according to statistical database, FiveThirtyEight. The Bears do not control their own destiny. In addition to winning out likely being an absolute necessity, they will need some help from their NFC peers down the stretch (hello, Philadelphia) if they’re going to be playing meaningful do-or-die games in January.
