Good, bad, and ugly from Bears’ Week 6 loss to the Vikings

The Bears suffere another loss to the Vikings in Week 6. We break down the good, bad and ugly from the Week 6 game.

The Chicago Bears failed to take down a shaky Minnesota Vikings team in Sunday’s 19-13 loss, and several questions have been raised about the team’s future.

People are concerned on how serious the injury quarterback Justin Fields suffered in the third quarter of the game is, but the whispers of replacing the quarterback in the long term have only gotten more brazen. The same goes for head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, who failed to give the team the tools it needs to string together a potential win streak.

Week 6 was an absolute mess, so let’s try to sort through the muck as we go over the good, bad and ugly from the Bears’ Week 6 loss to the Vikings.

5 biggest storylines ahead of Bears vs. Vikings in Week 6

The Bears are aiming to build a winning streak against the Vikings. Here’s a look at the biggest storylines for Week 6.

Week 6 is upon us, and it’s shaping up to be a good one. The Chicago Bears will host the Minnesotqa Vikings for Sunday afternoon action.

The two teams are surprisingly evenly matched, as Minnesota has fallen well short of the expectation they set following their 13-4 season that included a postseason berth. It’ll be a game of two explosive offenses, with two fittingly bad defenses that will allow the opposing offense to do their work.

Chicago has the chance to create a winning streak, and the Vikings have the opportunity to begin to right a disastrous start to the season. With so much at stake, there are bound to be interesting narratives to keep track of.

Let’s discuss the five biggest storylines ahead of Bears vs. Vikings in Week 6.

3 key matchups ahead of Bears vs. Vikings in Week 6

The Bears are looking to get a divisional win against the Vikings in Week 6. We breakdown some key matchups to watch.

The Chicago Bears square off in a divisional Week 6 showdown with the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday, and it’s shaping up to be one of the more exciting NFC North battles in a long while.

Justin Fields and the offense finally began to click, averaging 34 points in the past two games, and the defense took some big steps forward in getting sacks and turnovers. Conversely, the Vikings find themselves in an extremely winnable game, even without star receiver Justin Jefferson.

Whether the Bears win or lose, the game should be a fun one. Let’s go over every key matchup from the game and discuss what Chicago needs to do move up the ladder of the NFC North.

Good, bad and ugly from Bears’ Week 5 win over the Commanders

The Bears got its first win of the season against the Commanders. We break down the (mostly) good, bad and ugly from the victory.

It’s been a couple of days since the Chicago Bears’ triumphant victory over the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football, and victory has never tasted sweeter.

Quarterback Justin Fields now has a two-game sample size of elite play, the offense is firing on all cylinders, and the defense actually stood its ground and didn’t allow a miraculous comeback victory two weeks in a row. The Chicago faithful now get to enjoy a full slate of football knowing that their team has done its job.

Before all the exciting action kicks off tomorrow, let’s wax poetic about what the Bears did right in Week 5, and where they can improve with the extra time off this week.

Let’s break down the good, bad and ugly in the Bears Week 5 win over the Commanders.

A Bears timeline of everything that’s gone wrong in the 2023 season (so far)

Breaking down all the mayhem of the Bears’ nightmare season to this point.

Over the last three decades, the Chicago Bears have been one of the NFL’s worst teams. They’ve won a total of four playoff games since 1994 and have just nine winning seasons in that same time span. Based on the sheer pandemonium the latest iteration has already faced, the 2023 Bears are somehow shaping up to enjoy the worst year of them all.

Below, you will find a timeline of everything that’s gone wrong for the Bears during this extremely young season. We haven’t even seen three games, and it feels like this franchise is about to be swallowed up by a massive sinkhole. Nothing is going right. Everything is broken. None of it is normal. And it doesn’t seem like anyone in a leadership position has solutions to right the ship.

Take a (very) deep breath, and let’s dive in.

Check out the best photos of Penn State players in the NFL in Week 4.

Former Penn State wide receiver [autotag]Jahan Dotson[/autotag] came up clutch for the Washington Commanders when he caught a game-ending touchdown on the final play of regulation, forcing overtime on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately for Dotson and the Commanders, the result did not go their way in the overtime.

Meanwhile, in Dallas, Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys dominated Mike Gesicki and the New England Patriots. Parsons appeared to injure his ankle during the game but continued to play in the blowout. Parsons and the Cowboys have a major test next week on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. That one should be a good one.

Bears vs. Broncos: Everything we know about Chicago’s Week 4 loss

The Bears choked away a 21-point lead as they fell to 0-4 on the season. Here’s everything we know about their Week 4 loss to the Broncos.

The Chicago Bears had it. They had their first win of the season within reach against the winless Denver Broncos.  But in true Bears fashion, they choked away the game to fall to 0-4 on the season (their 14th consecutive loss).

The game seemed put away after an impressive first half, where the team held a 28-7 lead in the third quarter. The fans were destined to celebrate a career day for quarterback Justin Fields that saw him set a franchise record for consecutive completions.

But, in a flash, Chicago was down 31-28, and Fields threw a demoralizing interception that sealed the win for the Broncos.

While emotions are high and the game is fresh in our minds, let’s break down  everything we know about the Bears’ Week 4 loss to the Broncos.

The Bears are readying themselves to battle the Broncos in Week 4. Here are three key matchups to watch.

The Bears’ Week 4 game against the equally winless Broncos is only a couple of days away, and the Chicago faithful are starting to become a bit more optimistic about their chances.

The drubbing the Bears received from the Super Bowl champion Chiefs in Week 3 is in the dark recesses of our memory, and many have concluded that a win would right Chicago’s sinking ship.

To pull off the upset win, there are crucial aspects of the game the Bears need to identify and work in their favor. Let’s break down those aspects and go over the three key matchups ahead of Week 4 against the Broncos.

Bears believe ‘one win would change a lot’ amid early struggles

The Bears are riding the NFL’s longest and franchise-worst 13-game losing streak. But the team believes a win is the perfect remedy.

The Chicago Bears have had a disastrous start to the 2023 season, where they’re staring down an 0-3 hole where they’ve lost by an average of nearly 20 points per game.

It’s been brutal all around — Justin Fields and the offense can’t get things going, the defense is letting opposing offenses walk all over them and the coaches have their team wholly unprepared.

Coach Matt Eberflus met with the Bears’ leadership council Wednesday morning at Halas Hall, where he delivered a message: “Fight” to end the 13-game losing streak.

“A lot of times what happens is, with human nature, is you make excuses,” Eberflus said. “You blame this, you blame that, you blame injury, you blame circumstance, you blame all these things.

“You can’t do that. You got to own up to what you’ve done. The circumstance is the circumstance. You’ve got to execute and do what you’re supposed to do. Do your job every single day. You never know when it’s right around the corner. That’s our attitude. We’re determined. We’re focused on this week alone.”

The Bears are riding the NFL’s longest active losing streak — and the longest in franchise history. But the team believes a win is the perfect remedy.

“A win fixes everything,” left tackle Larry Borom said, via the Sun-Times. “It makes your morale better. Once you get one you start to get addicted to it. We just need to taste it.”

Safety Jaquan Brisker echoed the sentiment.

“It just has to start with one win,” Brisker said, via the Sun-Times, “and one win would change a lot.”
