The Bears finished last in the NFC North with a 5-11 record last season, and it hurts to finished last. Just asked Jeremiah Ratliff.

The Bears defensive lineman said it’s hard to forget about the 2014 season.

Ratliff didn’t have his best season either. Even though the 11-year veteran only played in 11 games, he still led the Bears with 6.5 sacks.

It’s very important to play 16 games, especially at this point in my career. I do want to start strong, finish strong and hopefully get into the playoffs so I can play a little longer and still be strong.
