The Bears have been eliminated from playoff contention

December 16, 2024 | clowe

The Bears didn’t even play on Sunday and they still took an L.

After an offseason that was filled with hope and promise, the Bears have now been eliminated from playoff contention. This marks yet another season that the Bears have failed to advance to the postseason. The last time the Bears made the playoffs was in 2020, and the last time they won a playoff game was in 2010.

The Bears will play the Minnesota Vikings tonight in Monday Night Football.
