The Bears are coming off a disappointing 19-16 loss to the Detroit Lions, where Chicago came out flat for three quarters on offense. Of course, they found a way to march back in the fourth quarter, thanks to a pair of Caleb Williams touchdown drives, but it was too little too late. The Bears defense also continued to struggle, whether it was against the run or in coverage.
