Calm down, Bears fans, and please understand that the preseason is not about who wins and who loses the game. But it is about which player wins and loses each week.
Yes, the Bears got clobbered by the Giants. So what? Last year, the Bears went winless during the preseason and yet went on to win 11 games during the regular season.
During the Bears’ Super Bowl championship season of 1985, the team went 1-3 during the preseason.
Anyway, game results may not matter, but individual performances do. That is, assuming you are a player on the bubble.
The players who skipped the game—Lance Briggs, Anthony Adams, Zack Bowman, Corey Wootton—all will make the final roster if healthy. But there were others for whom this game meant a lot.
Meanwhile, some players helped themselves and some were hurt by their performance on Monday. Overall, the Bears may have lost the game, but the offensive line did well, and that’s a win for Chicago.
Let’s take a look at some other winners (and losers) from Monday night’s game.
