It was a feel-good Monday night in Chicago, a relatively dominant 20-10 win over the division-leading Vikings, but the truth is none of that really matters for the Bears.

Trevor Bauer Had The Postseason's Best Baseball Butt
Trevor Bauer has been the Indians’ number two starter this postseason, and in that role he has been severely miscast.
