Whenever the Bears play at noon on Sundays, I record the game and watch it later in the afternoon. There are three main reasons for this:

Usually, we have lunch with our parents on Sundays, so this way I don’t miss the first quarter.

With it getting dark early this time of year, it’s nice having the early afternoon to accomplish anything I might need to do outside.

I can fast forward through commercials so I can cut down the watch time.

Anyone following this Bears season knows that the outcome usually isn’t decided until the last few moments of the fourth quarter. Unlike past years, they have found a way to win most of those games.

The strange thing is that I find myself more anxious this season than in the past (or it’s possible I just forget this part of the viewing experience).

Today’s game, the Bears led by as much as thirteen points in the second half, but I knew if they didn’t add on, it wouldn’t be enough.

They missed a field goal midway through the fourth quarter, and that was the turning point. Minnesota scored two touchdowns and took the lead with less than a minute left.

Why do I do this to myself?

Well, a long kickoff return and a Cairo Santos field goal, and once again, the Bears survived what probably should have been a loss.
