The 2010s were not kind to Bears fans. Chicago made the playoffs just twice in 10 years, and won just one playoff game in that span.
As the NFL kicks off its divisional weekend, the Bears will once again be on the outside looking in, and it’s been like that for some time. The Bears haven’t played in the NFL divisional playoffs since Jan. 16, 2011, when they defeated the Seahawks 35-24 at Soldier Field to advance to the NFC Championship game.
The game wasn’t as close as the final score indicated, as the Bears jumped out to a 28-0 lead thanks to a suffocating effort by the defense and four offensive touchdowns, including three of Jay Cutler’s four touchdowns (two through the air and two on the ground).
The Bears would fall short of a Super Bowl appearance following a 21-14 loss to the Packers in the NFC Championship game.
