The Chicago Bears are on the precipice of the kind of season they have not seen since Lovie Smith was head coach from 2004 through the 2012 season.
After wandering in the NFL desert under previous head coaches Marc Trestman and John Fox, the Bears appear to have found their stride under rookie head coach Matt Nagy. The Bears have won three of their first four games, and they have developed one of the most aggressive defenses in the league.
If second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky can continue to improve, there's no reason the Bears won't be a playoff team in 2018.
