Another week, another last-minute escape to beat an inferior opponent. That's the current identity for these 2020 Chicago Bears.
But after two weeks, the Bears are 2-0. Two wins, zero losses. That's all that matters as they try to stack wins now and get good later. There's no apologizing in the NFL. Here were my two post-game Thoughts Threads on Twitter:
And...
The Bears travel to Atlanta this week to take on the Falcons. Chicago has had some wacky history in Atlanta. You may recall the 2008 game where Kyle Orton gave the Bears the lead with 11 seconds left, and the Bears still lost on a mind-numbing sequence of events. Or in 2014, the Bears evened their record to 3-3 with a great win in Atlanta and looked on the verge of straightening things out, only to lose to Miami at home the next week and set the course for a total regime change. We'll see what this week has in store. Then again, the Falcons are coming off their own horrific loss. They went into Dallas in Week 2 and built leads of 20-0, 29-10, and 39-24 with just over four minutes left. Yep, they lost. How does a team come back from that? With that, let's reach into this week's Bears Mailbag -- thanks to everyone who submitted questions. Follow me on Twitter @DhruvKoul to continue the conversation.
