We’re approaching the midpoint of the NFL season, and the Chicago Bears have a winning record (4-3), just ike they did a year ago.
We all know how last season turned out, but this Bears team has a chance to bounce back from last week’s stinker in Baltimore against the (3-5) Cincinnati Bengals. Chicago should be able to get their passing game on track, as the Bengals are allowing the third most passing yards in the NFL at 256 per game. Then again, the Bears should be able to run the ball because Cincinnati has the worst run defense in the NFL, allowing 152 yards per game.
