Despite their long and storied tradition, the Chicago Bears have not won the Super Bowl in over a quarter century. They did, however, return to the big game back in ’06 but failed to win the big prize.
Meanwhile, how did they do it? Were they lucky or was there a plan? Is there something to learn from this and if they do ever get back to the dance, will they be better dance partners next time because of things that head coach Lovie Smith has learned?
As Bears fans, we certainly hope so.
