In three seasons at Notre Dame, tight end Cole Kmet tasted the bitterness of defeat only five times. The Bears will match that total in October if they can’t beat the Patriots on Monday or the Cowboys next week.
Kmet grew up in the Chicago suburbs, so he certainly knew how exasperating it could be to watch or play for the Bears when they drafted him in 2020. But that doesn’t make it any easier for him to endure the ever-growing pile of losses.
