The Chicago Bears (3-9) suffered a 31-10 loss to the New York Jets (7-4), where Chicago severely missed star quarterback Justin Fields in their fifth straight defeat.
It was a weird start to Sunday’s game, where there was some confusion as to who would be starting at QB for Chicago. Trevor Siemian injured his oblique during warmups, and it looked like third-stringer Nathan Peterman was going to get the nod. Siemian was a literal game-time decision just moments before the game kicked off, and he got the nod, leading the Bears to scores on his first two drives. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there.
Chicago’s already-depleted defense suffered another blow with the loss of Eddie Jackson (foot), leaving the Bears without its top safeties in Jackson and rookie Jaquan Brisker. Jets quarterback Mike White took advantage of that battered group and won himself a starting job.
There was plenty to break down following Chicago’s loss against New York. Our Bears Wire staff is sharing their thoughts following the Week 12 game.
