Sure, if you ask Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders, or Khalil Mack, they would say that Sunday’s matchup in London was just another game on the schedule. But in reality, everyone knew that the Week 5 battle with the Chicago Bears had a little more weight to it. It was the first time Khalil Mack would face-off against his former team, and specifically the coach that traded him away.
For all of 2018, the consensus was that the Bears won the trade. Chicago dominated to a 12-4 record, won the NFC North, and made it to the postseason.
