Bears Look to Break Six-Game Losing Skid
In order to prepare for their final four games to finish the 2022 season, the Chicago Bears had a much-needed bye week. Before the bye week, Chicago was declared out of playoff contention; therefore, the only thing left on the table is the right to participate in the 2023 NFL Draft.
