The Super Bowl is tomorrow, and the eyes of the NFL world are on the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, so our Chicago Bears question of the day has that LX slant.

This is something new to me, and I’m still finding out how to deal with it. “It has been frustrating, I don’t feel like I’ve played a game this season fully fit. I’ve been working closely with the physios on a day-to-day basis. I know what I can do when I’m fit, and hopefully I can get back to that soon. For now, I just manage it and get there.”-Cole Palmer; source: Chelsea FC
