3. Chicago Bears
Without Jay Cutler for a long stretch of games, the Bears finished with the NFC’s No. 3 offense. The quarterback is healthy and has had time to mesh with his twin towers, Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. Offensive guru Marc Trestman found a third wideout in Marquess Wilson, but because of injuries we’ll have to wait to see what he can bring to the table. And flying under the radar, as usual, is the very versatile Matt Forte.
