Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn’t sound like a coach interested in perspective when he stepped to the podium at Halas Hall for the final time this season. In the days since the Bears’ 20–17 overtime loss to the Rams in the Divisional Round , much of the conversation around Chicago has leaned toward optimism, from me included.
