The NFL never stops surprising. Just when the playoff picture starts to take shape, a presumed contender flops or a team that’s on death’s doorstep resuscitates its season.
Week 10 of the NFL season started with a rock fight between a bad team (the Bears) and the dregs of the league (the Panthers). The Bears won 16-13 in a win that was as much about the future as it was about the present.
