9. Bears Win In St. Louis, Back In Playoff Race – No, Seriously!

Mon, Nov 16, 2015

The 2015 Bears are officially open for business!  After losing 10 straight conference games dating back to when Cutler & Trestman beat McCown & Lovie (just 9 days shy of a year ago), including 5 this year, we finally won an NFC game.  We still haven’t scored a 3rd quarter TD, but this was our first convincing win this year for several reasons.  1) The Rams were a top-5 defense.  2) The Rams were top-5 in rushing, led by a top-5 RB who’s a rookie.  3) We were without our best offensive and defensive players.  And 4) we won by 24 points after our first 3 wins were by a total of 6.  And now, despite starting 0-3, we’re 4-5.  And right in the middle of the playoff hunt.  Yes, THOSE playoffs!
