Do the Chicago Bears have a calendar that reads something like “It’s been ____ days since our last embarrassing loss” hanging somewhere in Halas Hall? If not, I’d invest in one at this point in the season.
Following their blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Bears somehow topped themselves this weekend by blowing a 10-point lead to the Detroit Lions with under five minutes to go. The offense turtled late in the second half after having arguably its best day of the season, and the defense continued to raise red flags by allowing over 450 total yards to a wounded Lions team.
At this point in the season, the loss was yet another nail in the coffin of head coach Matt Nagy’s tenure with the Bears. They’ll eventually run out of unique ways to lose as we head into the final quarter of the season, but for now, we’re left to pick up the pieces and wonder if/when changes are made. Here are my takeaways from Sunday’s shocking loss.
