Bears Win, But Now What? / Konkol Column / Another Bloody Weekend

Good morning, Chicago. And thank you, Detroit! The White Sox wrapped the regular season by winning a weekend three-game series against the Tigers. And the Bears beat the Lions Sunday, so I'm not complaining.

But the 24-14 victory won't free head coach Matt Nagy from queries and criticism regarding the state of his offense and the lingering quarterback controversy, says Patch's Jeff Arnold: A Bears Win Brings Relief, But Won't End More Questions For Nagy.

Cook County Board Present Toni Preckwinkle announced plans to run for re-election, which is kind of unbelievable after all voters learned during her failed mayoral campaign, isn't it?
