5. This game felt like it was 2018 again
Even at their highest point prior to Thursday night, the 2019 Bears haven’t reached the highs of the 2018 season when they captured the NFC North division crown. Until now.
The score wasn’t indicative of how dominant this performance was for the Bears. Outside of their opening drives on offense and defense, this was a convincing win and it was led by #10. The offense was in sync, the defense was stifling, despite having no turnovers, the play calling by coach Matt Nagy was effective and balanced, and Soldier Field was electric.
Will this three-game win streak lead to three more to secure a spot in the playoffs? Possibly, but the odds aren’t in their favor. Still, at least for one meaningful December victory, that 2018 magic returned. Hopefully it will lead to an improbable push to the postseason.
