NEWSLETTER
If the Chicago Bears beat the Cleveland Browns in Week 16 and pull off a season-ending win against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17, John Fox’s tenure with the team will have featured more wins against AFC North opponents in 2017 (four) than NFC North foes (three).
Not to put the cart before the horse, but where can we start printing our “Real AFC North Champion” caps and t-shirts? I’m asking for a friend…
