December relevance.No, the Bears haven’t nudged their way into the “in the hunt” column of all the playoff graphics yet. They are still 5-8, in last place in the NFC North and behind 11 other teams in the conference as the regular season enters the home stretch.But who knows?

They already had neck guards, which are required for youth hockey in the state, but Sacco said he took another look at them after Johnson’s death in October.“They were small,” he said. “So I got new ones that are made not to be sliced through and they’re bigger.
