No they've beaten one team with a winning record.
Must be nice...
Bears have played NFL’s toughest schedule
...
As bad as the 3-8 Bears have been, there’s this nugget of hope: All three of their victories have come against winning teams.
The Bears have defeated the 9-2 Steelers, 6-5 Ravens and the 8-3 Panthers. That’s right — they have beaten three teams that cumulatively have won almost 70 percent of their games.
How impressive is that!?
Well, consider this: The 10-1 Eagles, the best team in football who laid the wood to the Bears last week with a 31-3 beatdown, have defeated just one winning team — the Panthers. The 9-2 Patriots have beaten just two — the Saints and Falcons.
In fact, only three teams have defeated more winning teams than the Bears. Five of the Steelers’ nine vctories have come against winners; the Vikings and Panthers have four apiece.
...
not all rosey excuses either...this was written before they lost to SF, 1 point be damned. Now 0-4.
There is this: The Bears are 0-3 against teams with below-.500 records, losing by an aggregate score of 87-37.
