Bears report card: How we graded Chicago in their Week 9 loss

Here’s a quick breakdown of what we saw during Monday’s game and how we graded the Bears in their loss to the Steelers.

The Chicago Bears lost their fourth straight game with a 29-27 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where the officiating was one-sided and rookie quarterback Justin Fields had his breakout performance. After a 3-2 start, the Bears have dropped to 3-6 heading into the bye week.

While there’s been plenty of discussion about the poor officiating and how it ultimately impacted the Bears, there was a silver lining in rookie quarterback Justin Fields’ performance, where he had his breakout game in a hostile environment on Monday Night Football.

Bears report card: How we graded Chicago in their Week 8 loss

Here’s a quick breakdown of what we saw during Sunday’s game and how we graded the Bears in their loss to the 49ers.

The Chicago Bears lost their third straight game with a 33-22 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers, where the offense was encouraging and the defense downright disastrous in the second half. After a 3-2 start, the Bears have dropped to 3-5.

There was a silver lining in rookie quarterback Justin Fields’ performance, where he finally had a mini-breakout game of sorts where he showcased his special skillset. And it’s no coincidence that Matt Nagy wasn’t on the sideline when it happened.

Bears report card: How we graded Chicago in their Week 7 loss

Here’s a quick breakdown of what we saw during Sunday’s game and how we graded the Bears in their loss to the Bucs.

The Chicago Bears suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which dropped Chicago to 3-4 on the season and reminded everyone this team is exactly what we thought they were.

There wasn’t a whole lot of good, with the exception of rookie running back Khalil Herbert, who cranked off 100 rushing yards against the NFL’s best run defense. And there was plenty of bad, including Justin Fields’ five turnovers, the offense managing just 3 points and Tom Brady scoring four — yes, four — touchdowns in his revenge game.

Bears report card: How we graded Chicago in their Week 6 loss

Here’s a quick breakdown of what we saw during Sunday’s game and how we graded the Bears in their loss to the Packers.

The Chicago Bears suffered another frustrating defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, which dropped Chicago to 3-3 on the season and halted the momentum they’d gained after back-to-back wins.

There was plenty of good — early pressure on Aaron Rodgers and Khalil Herbert’s breakout — and bad — defense’s struggles against Green Bay’s run game and the offense’s overall execution — in the loss.

Bears report card: How we graded Chicago in their Week 5 win

We’re grading the Bears following their win against the Raiders, where defense dominated, offense did enough and Cairo Santos was clutch.

The Chicago Bears pulled off an impressive 20-9 upset win against the Las Vegas Raiders, which gave us a glimpse at what this Bears team can be this season.

This was a team win in every sense of the word. The defense dominated one of the NFL’s best offenses holding them to just 9 points, sacking Derek Carr three times and forcing a turnover. The offense did what it had to do to win the game, relying on a heavy dose of the run game and rookie Justin Fields making plays when he needed to. Cairo Santos came up clutch in the kicking game with two big field goals. The result was a convincing win that gives this team some motivation heading into a Week 6 showdown against the Packers.

Bears Report Card: How we graded Chicago’s offense in Week 2 win vs. Bengals

Here’s how we graded the Bears’ offense in Week 2’s win over the Bengals.

The Chicago Bears recorded their first win of the season with a 20-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, where it was more of the same with struggles on offense.

While rookie quarterback Justin Fields did make his debut, it was an overall rough outing by everyone on offense, except for Andy Dalton, who was impressive before exiting the game with a knee injury.

There were certainly some surprises on offense, including wide receiver Allen Robinson’s outing and Matt Nagy’s usage of his tight ends. But the Bears got the win. Now, the offense needs to find some rhythm, and it looks like it’ll be with Fields as the starter.

As we wrap up Week 2, here’s how we graded each position group on offense in Chicago’s win against Cincinnati:
