While the rest of the country gets ready for the holidays and all the cheerfulness that come with them, the Chicago Bears will be doubling down on practice this week getting ready to face division rival Green Bay on Thursday night.
The Bears are coming off a tough loss to the Denver Broncos, and unless something miraculous happens, there won't be a playoff berth for John Fox in his first year as head coach.
To be fair, though, he's gotten just about as much out of this team as anyone could have imagined. The schemes are there, the players have bought in, but at the end of the day they are so severely lacking at many critical positions on the roster and just don't have the ability to execute consistently week in and week out. So far, I'd say this season has been a success.
Let's take a look at some recent headlines:
