Bears gain confidence from rare win with young lineup
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Even if the Chicago Bears’ future at quarterback is murky, their vision of the future at numerous other spots looks more clear.
A nonfactor in the NFC North race, the Bears continue giving effort normally associated with teams in a playoff chase. Sunday’s 26-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers provided them with hope about their long-range future.
It’s easier for the Bears to be more confident about the future with production they’re receiving from young players such as rookie linebackers Leonard Floyd and Nick Kwiatkoski, and several reserves on the offensive line.
