The Chicago Bears (3-14) suffered a 29-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings (13-4) to close out the 2022 season on a 10-game losing streak. But it wasn’t all bad.
Chicago has secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, which just made this offseason even more exciting given all of the possibilities. The Bears do owe the Texans thanks (or an edible arrangement of some sort) for blowing their own chance at the top pick. Then again, perhaps it was Lovie Smith leaving Chicago a parting gift before he was fired by Houston that same day.
