Why can’t we have nice things?
Yesterday was yet another tough day to be a Bears fan, although the suffering was reserved for the last few minutes of the game, rather than the entirety. Chicago led through three quarters and appeared to have enough left in the tank to outlast the injury-prone Browns. Then, the Bears happened.
After a deep pass to tight-end David Njoku, the Browns drilled a field goal for the go-ahead points.
With a chance to either tie or win the game, the Bears marched down the field and on the final play of the game, nearly completed a Hail Mary that would’ve put the Bears in playoff contention. Instead, wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught the ball and then fumbled it in the endzone.
The Bears now sit at 5-9 on the season.
