The Chicago Bears did what few teams with young quarterbacks do in Foxborough, MA and that’s defeat the New England Patriots under Bill Belichick. The Bears were massive underdogs on Monday Night Football, but wound up blowing the doors off the Patriots in all phases of the game with a convincing 33-14 victory.
With a mini bye week following their disappointing loss to the Washington Commanders, the Bears used the extra rest to make improvements to their team, most notably on offense. Quarterback Justin Fields led an unstoppable rushing attack and made sure the Patriots barely touched the ball. When they did, however, the Bears defense made them pay with four turnovers on the day.
Nothing was stopping the Bears during this game and it resulted in an improbable, yet satisfying win with a chance to build on this success. Here are our takeaways from this primetime victory.
