On Sunday, the Chicago Bears fell 29-22 to the Minnesota Vikings. This is the first time the Bears have lost consecutive games in the Matt Eberflus era.
There was a lot to like about this game, despite the loss. Quarterback Justin Fields played by far his best game of the season, while showing a lot of promise and hope for the future. He played with confidence and made smart decisions. If he can keep that up, Chicago will be in every game they play.
Even after falling down 21-3, the Bears battled back and took a 22-21 lead in the second half. This team has a lot of heart and did more than enough to win this game. They just couldn’t hold on to their one point lead, and a late Ihmir Smith-Marsette fumble cost them.
Let’s take a look at everything we know abut Chicago’s Week 5 loss.
