Following an impressive 5-1 start, the Chicago Bears have fallen after losing four straight games heading into their bye week. The problem hasn’t been the defense, which has once again been a top-five unit in the league. Even the special teams has been solid with kicker Cairo Santos and kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson.
Of course, the issues remain on offense, which is coming off an embarrassing outing against the Minnesota Vikings where they put up just 149 yards of offense. This is nothing new for this offense, which hasn’t been in a rhythm since 2018. And it seems to get worse with each passing week.
Here are the biggest storylines for this Bears team during this much-needed bye week.
