It’s amazing to think there was a time when the Chicago Bears had a better probability of landing a top-10 pick than a playoff spot. But as we’ve previously discussed, the unpredictability of the oddly shaped bouncing ball never goes where you expect. That’s why they play the game.

With that being said, Bears fans are watching to see something they didn’t think was probable after racking up a sixth straight defeat when they lost to the Lions a few weeks ago. Landing a playoff berth is realistic after beating the Vikings. And while the Bears need help, their path to January football is growing clearer. Let’s follow that path.
