I think the Chicago Bears celebrate Halloween a bit differently than most others. Usually, the popular phrase around the holiday is “trick or treat.” But in this case, they flipped it on everyone to say “treat or trick.”
The Bears welcomed the San Francisco 49ers to town and did in fact give fans an early treat. Led by special teams coordinator Chris Tabor while Matt Nagy stayed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Bears found themselves with an early lead.
They were able to jump on top of the Niners 13-9 at halftime, showing promise on the offensive end. But then the defense completely fell apart as fans were tricked into believing a win was possible. The Bears lost 33-22 and dropped to 3-5 on the season.
It was a bad loss, but there were actually a few positives that are worth hanging your hat on moving forward. Here are my takeaways from Sunday’s loss.
