Key Bears players search for meaning in 4-10 season

Associated Press  

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears close out a 4-10 season without much meaning in the final three games for many players. “Hopefully we just keep building up the younger guys, getting them more confident with playing and stuff like that.” Mooney is focused on fortifying the quarterback-receiver relationship with Fields as they prepare to play the league’s worst pass defense. “I tell some of the guys, I’m like, ‘I’ve had one winning season in nine years of my playing career, and made the playoffs one time in nine years,’ ” Ogletree said. “It’s still a kid’s game and you just try to enjoy every day that you get the opportunity to play this game,” Ogletree said. You know, that’s an inspiring moment to watch a football team.” Gipson is the starting secondary player the Bears must decide on, and fourth-year defensive end starter Bilal Nichols is a free agent, as well.
