10 NFL sleepers who could make a surprise Super Bowl run

Chicago Bears

Two years ago, the Chicago Bears posted a 12-4 record, won the NFC North, and hosted the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wildcard round. Unfortunately for the Bears, Cody Parkey’s missed field goal has sent the franchise in the wrong direction, as they went 8-8 last season and failed to make the playoffs.

Aside from the record, the Bears also saw quarterback Mitchell Trubisky take a step in the wrong direction, something that should alarm their fans going into next season. Remember, he was selected ahead of both Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes, so that has to be on everyone’s mind everytime he looks to not be the answer in the Windy City.

Chicago brought in Nick Foles to be his backup this season, and that means Trubisky has a Super Bowl MVP waiting to take over if he falters. They have the defense to win games, and solid weapons on offense, so do not be surprise if head coach Matt Nagy has a quick hook in 2020, as he also looks to keep his job.
