Chicago is a divided town when it comes to baseball. Not everyone is a hockey fan, in the same way that not everyone loves the NBA. But one team brings this city together like no other: the Bears.

After a long, and often painful drought, the Bears are back in the playoffs, searching for Superbowl glory.
