Why the Chicago Bears Winning a Single Game Has Everyone Convinced They’re Winning the Super Bowl
CHICAGO — In a stunning display of overconfidence that can only be described as peak Bears fandom, the Chicago Bears secured a victory last Sunday, and the internet immediately responded by booking parade permits. Meme historians are calling it the “Annual Midwest Surge,” where a single, modest win against a team with a losing record triggers a collective amnesia of the previous ten soul-crushing defeats. The irony, of course, is that Bears fans are now arguing that a 3-8 record is actually a “playoff trajectory,” and NFL analysts have been forced to remind everyone that “leading the league in field goals does not count as an offensive explosion.”
