During Sunday’s 29-23 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, the Chicago Bears posted flashy numbers everywhere except where it matters most—the box score.
The Bears, as expected, were able to run up plenty of yards and numbers on a struggling Indianapolis defense. Also as expected, what has been a miserable pass rush pinned its ears back and beat the tar out of Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck.
But when it mattered most, Chicago crumbled.
Chicago refused to make a change at kicker and paid the price Sunday. Chicago fumbled away a late comeback bid. On an extra comeback bid, the offense ignored its best two players on the field.
Or in other words, the musings of a 1-4 team. There are plenty of positives about the future to mention within, but as one can probably expect, the grades for each unit won’t stand in awe at flashy numbers when the Bears lost to an exploitable team.
