The Bears finish their season Sunday against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field (3:25 p.m., CBS-2).Brad Biggs answers questions about general manager Ryan Poles, Fields’ future, hypotheticals and much more in the latest Bears mailbag.Ryan Poles was in Kansas City when the Chiefs had Alex Smith, a serviceable and even popular quarterback, and traded up to the No. 10 spot to choose Patrick Mahomes.

But the new poll’s findings point to increased concern about U.S. involvement overseas — 20% voiced that sentiment in the poll, versus 5% a year ago.It also shows that the Israeli-Hamas war is feeding public anxiety. The conflict was mentioned by 5%, while almost no one cited i...
