Where the Bears rank statistically after Week 16

The Chicago Bears (3-12) were defeated, 35-13, by the Buffalo Bills (12-3) on Christmas Eve.

The Bears have lost eight straight games, and they’re competing for a top-three draft selection. Chicago currently holds the second overall pick, and they’ve found their franchise quarterback in Justin Fields, so it’s not all bad.
