Any hope of a comeback by the Chicago Bears against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was erased thanks to one questionable play call that led to a defensive touchdown. Bears quarterback Justin Fields had an opportunity to lead a comeback down three points, but a screen pass to Khalil Herbert deep in their own territory ended up getting picked off by Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett for a pick-six, icing the game for Tampa 27-17.
The Bears officially start the season 0-2 with too many questions and not enough answers. The offense was too inconsistent despite showing flashes early, and the defense could only bend before breaking in the suffocating heat and humidity. It was a game that was within reach for much of the day, but now Chicago is winless and staring down the barrel with the Kansas City Chiefs waiting in the wings.
With another loss, Bears fans are going through it, wondering why offensive coordinator Luke Getsy called a screen pass when they were backed up in their own territory, questioning Fields’ play, and everything in between. Here’s how fans are reacting on social media.
