Yet, the Bears have kept fighting. Since third-string quarterback Matt Barkley took over three weeks ago, Chicago has notched a 26-6 win over San Francisco and suffered narrow losses to Tennessee and Detroit by a combined margin of nine points.
Fox, who had only one season with more than 10 losses in his first 14 years as a head coach, is disappointed his second year in the Windy City hasn’t led to more wins but that doesn’t mean 2016 has been a lost season.
Anticipating a rebuild when he arrived in 2014, Fox believes the Bears are moving in the right direction.
