Certainly, the Bears are a betting on NFL work in progress. Rookie head coach Matt Eberflus inherited a roster in a full rebuild. Second year quarterback Justin Fields is learning on the fly without much help. There will be a lot of growing pains for the Bears this season. By contrast, the Patriots took a big step forward last year. Then-rookie QB Mac Jones took them to the playoffs. But Jones has been in and out of the lineup in 2022. Fortunately, they have a capable backup to spark them.
