Windy City Gridiron

The Bears have the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. For now. After the absolute miracle that was the Texans’ closing drive against the Colts on Sunday, the Bears finished with the worst record in the NFL and are now in possession of the most valuable selection in the draft: the top one. It also took a loss against the Vikings at home to close out the season at 3-14, a game which I attended and normally would write an article about involving my day-after thoughts. However, it feels like clinching the No. 1 pick is a much more important topic than a loss that was headlined by the quarterback tandem of Nathan Peterman and Tim Boyle rotating in the starting lineup. If you read my day-after notes over the course of the regular season, I want to thank you — they truly are a great way for me to write out my observations and really let them stick in my brain, and I hope they’ve been helpful to you, too.
