Pernell McPhee ‘guarantee' says get used to idea of Bears in playoffs

Share

Pernell McPhee isn’t guaranteeing anything specifically, not a win over the San Francisco 49ers, not closing out the regular season with five wins, and not specifically that the Bears will be in the playoffs.

But the Bears’ rush-linebacker was a member of Baltimore Ravens playoff teams in three of his four years with them (2011-12, 2014), winning the Super Bowl in his second year. So he has more than just a passing knowledge of what a playoff team looks like.

“[Playoffs are] great motivation; I love the playoffs,” McPhee said on Thursday, then with a smile, suggesting that Bears fans keep their schedules for the second week of January open, just in case. “I hope y’all like the playoffs.”
