Studs and duds for Bears through first quarter of 2021 NFL season

With the first 4 games in the books, we’re taking a look at which Bears players have thrived and which have disappointed so far this season.

For all intents and purposes, we’ve reached the first quarter of the 2021 NFL season and the Chicago Bears are hovering around the middle of the pack. At 2-2, they’re currently second in the NFC North behind the Green Bay Packers and would theoretically be “in the hunt” for a playoff spot if the season ended today.

In just four games, there’s been a little bit of everything when it comes to the individual performances. For example, we’ve seen dominant defensive performances that led to turnovers on three straight plays, and we’ve seen offensive outputs so horrendous that it set the game of football back 95 years.

But who were those individuals responsible for the good and the bad? Here are our studs and duds for the Bears through the first quarter of the season.
