The Bears Den: December 1, 2015 - Chicago Bears news and updates

Can you imagine how happy Virginia McCaskey must be?  It's well known that the Family always places a huge emphasis on beating their biggest rival each year, which is of course the longest-standing rivalry in NFL history, and even more so in the last few seasons when Green Bay has dominated the division.
