A draw against Atlanta United was not the worst result in the world for the Chicago Fire. Pending the results of the late games, the once and future Men in Red may have jumped up a place to 8th, one place below the playoff line. Eves with that being true, the result feels like a little bit of a letdown. Credit should go to Atlanta though. They played better than they have all month, punching the Fire early and keeping up, even when the game got stretched at the end.
The Fire, meanwhile, took a bit of a step back.
