The Chicago Bears haven’t made the NFL postseason since 2010, and, judging by their 3-7 record going into Sunday’s game at Lincoln Financial Field against the Eagles, that drought isn’t going to end this year, either.
By definition, though, the Bears are a dangerous team. They have a talented rookie quarterback who mixes in good plays among the predictable mistakes, and they have suffered through a very difficult schedule that makes playing on the road against a 9-1 team no more daunting than any other week. Desperate for good news? That describes the Bears, but in some ways, from a much larger perspective, it goes for the Eagles as well.
