9. Bears Beat Detroit’s Backup QB, Jump Lions Into 3rd Place

Tue, Nov 12, 2019

I have to admit, I didn’t see the Bears winning this week, even considering Detroit sat Matthew Stafford for a backup QB with only 176 NFL passes.  I also didn’t see the Troubador out-playing him.  But both of those things happened on Sunday.  Though neither was by much, they both did happen.  So color me surprised, Mr. 14-2 over here.  We still stink, and we’re headed nowhere fast, but we took a step forward nonetheless.  And at least our team’s “charitable foundation” wasn’t fined $2M this week.  I mean, that would really put a fork in us, wouldn’t it?  Not to mention we’re gonna need every dollar we’ve got for free agency this off-season.   So, all things considered, it’s been a solid week.

Why’d we win?  I’d like to submit this pic as exhibit A, your honor.
