Chicago Bears: Week 10 awards that totally make sense
By Sam Fels
The Chicago Bears racked up another win. It’s their third-straight evisceration of a bad team, which is what you do with bad teams. Let’s hand out some stuff.
I’m not sure what more you can ask of the Chicago Bears. They’ve won six of nine games. They have two three-game winning streaks. They’ve beaten up all the bad teams they’ve seen, save one goofy effort after a bye. Their three losses are almost self-inflicted, not ever being truly outclassed by the Packers or Patriots and certainly giving it away to the Dolphins.

But that’s a discussion for another day. The Bears were handed the raw meat and drink that is the Detroit Lions, and they quickly fried it up with some garlic and shallots and had them on a plate by halftime (yes, I have started using Blue Apron. Why do you ask?).
The second half was mostly spent playing with that food, and wouldn’t have been tense at all if all of Cody Parkey‘s kicks didn’t turn metallic in mid-air like they were being controlled by Bart Simpson in that one “Treehouse of Horror” episode.
They’re set up for their biggest game in years on Sunday night when they host the Minnesota Vikings for control of the NFC North. The Bears haven’t been on Sunday night at home in six years. They’re poised to announce themselves to the world, and erase the nation’s last look at them, when they treated a hobbled Aaron Rodgers like Kratos. It hasn’t been this exciting in a very long time.
First, though, let’s hand out some fake — but fun — awards from Week 10.
