This is quite the quote pull via 670 The Score’s Chris Emma : “I feel like that with Chicago sports in general. Always felt like that with the Cubs, here obviously in Chicago with the Bears, it’s kin...

How are you preparing for a third Bears-Packers showdown in the span of 34 days? Because Chicago and Green Bay are playing on a short week, the first injury report of the week will drop at some point on Tuesday. Subsequent injury report updates will follow on Wednesday and Thursday. Save for cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson starting the week in concussion protocol, I feel as if the Bears exited their Week 18 loss against the Detroit Lions relatively unscathed. But we’ll see what the inju...
