LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The struggling and disappointing Chicago Bears have only one touchdown in their last two games, have lost five of six and have watched their playoff chances sink.
What — if anything — can they do to salvage their season?
Whether it's unbridled optimism or blind faith, the Bears (4-6) insist they can still make a run at the playoffs. Chicago missed the postseason at 9-7 last year. To get to 10 wins this year, the Bears have to go undefeated.
That would mean beating Brett Favre and the Vikings twice, starting this coming Sunday. Bears cornerback Charles Tillman says he's not ready to give up, and that the day he loses hope is the "day I retire."
