At this point, there’s not much you can say about the Chicago Bears as they suffered an embarrassing 41-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Bears offense and defense had no answer for the Packers as they fall to 5-6.
The Packers got off to a nice start as quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the offense got the ball first. They marched down the field and were able to score first as Rodgers found receiver Davante Adams for a touchdown. The Bears were able to answer back with a field goal from Cairo Santos, but after that, things went bad.
After the Bears field goal, the Packers offense were able to respond with another touchdown from Rodgers to Marcedes Lewis to take a 13-3 lead. Mitchell Trubisky was able to get the start at quarterback for the Bears, but he still didn’t look comfortable.
On the second possession, Trubisky threw an interception, which gave the Packers an opportunity to extend their lead. Rodgers was able to find Allen Lazard to extend their lead to 20-3. Well, on the Bears next possession, Trubisky fumbled the ball and Packers linebacker Preston Smith recovered the football and returned it for a touchdown.
Before halftime, the Bears were able to score as Trubisky connected with receiver Allen Robinson to cut into the Packers lead. The Bears were able to get the ball to start the second half as they trailed 27-10, but the offense couldn’t get anything going.
After a couple of disappointing plays on offense and defense, the Bears saw themselves trailing 41-10 into the fourth quarter. The Bears were able to score two garbage time touchdowns as Trubisky found Robinson for his second touchdown, then running back David Montgomery for his first of the day.
It was Trubisky’s first game back after starting 3-0 and he finished 29-for-46 with three touchdowns, two interceptions and three fumbles (one lost fumble). The Bears started 5-1, but have now lost five straight games.
The Bears still have a chance to make the playoffs, but they don’t look like a playoff team. The NFC isn’t mathematically locked up, but now the Packers hold a three game lead over the Minnesota Vikings and the Bears.
Hopefully, the Bears can bounce back next week against the Detroit Lions, who will be without head coach Matt Patricia.
