There was a time not all that long ago where the Chicago Bears were a legitimate Super Bowl contender, a top-notch team with eyes on securing another Lombardi Trophy. In 2010, in fact, the Bears won the NFC North at 11-5 and hosted the conference title game at Soldier Field. But Jay Cutler left that contest early in the second half with a knee injury, the Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers 21-14 and they haven’t returned to the postseason since. In so many ways, the past five-and-a-half seasons have been a tornado of disappointment and embarrassment with the most recent humiliation coming Sunday in Tampa, a 36-10 loss to the Buccaneers that dropped the Bears to 2-7. It’s not just that the Bears lost Sunday. It’s that they had their doors blown off by a mediocre opponent. It’d be conventient to characterize that setback as the most embarrassing defeat in recent memory. But there are so many other options to choose from. In this week’s Blitz Package, we rank the franchise’s 10 worst losses of the 2010s.
