The Chicago Bears 2017 season is at a tipping point. It genuinely feels like this team can go one of two ways. They’re coming off a big win in Baltimore against the Ravens. Not only that but news always came out that Aaron Rodgers is likely done for the year after breaking his collar bone. Suddenly the NFC North is up for grabs. At 2-4 the Bears aren’t sitting pretty but they’re only two games out of the race.
That makes the upcoming matchup with the Carolina Panthers all the more vital. Winning would push their record to 3-4 but also give them a key win over another NFC contender. That could play huge into tiebreakers later in the year. Presuming of course that the Bears are able to carry that momentum forward.
