Bears fans are finally letting themselves say Super Bowl out loud, and naming kids after J.Simmons.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
Chicago walked into Seattle and left with a 34-17 win that felt bigger than the margin, even after C.Loveland coughed up a fumble at the CHI 21 in the fourth and S.Darnold answered with a C.Kupp touchdown. C.Williams went right back to C.Loveland for 12, and K.Raymond's 39-yard run to the SEA 5 slammed the door. Two straight weeks of beating last year's Super Bowl teams has Bears fans saying the quiet part out loud, which is historically when the trouble starts.
