With their playoff lives on the line, the Chicago Bears have come out flat in the first half against the Los Angeles Rams.
After forcing two turnovers on the Rams’ first two possessions — and getting into scoring position on their first three offensive drives — the Bears came away scoreless in the first half for the third time this season.
For reference, Chicago was held scoreless in the first half four times in John Fox’s three-year tenure.
The Bears were held scoreless against the Oakland Raiders in Week 5 and Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9.
Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has looked sharp, but he hasn’t been helped by his receivers, who dropped five passes in the first half.
He also hasn’t gotten some help from his kicker, as Eddy Pineiro missed two field goals in the first quarter alone, from 48 and 47 yards.
The Bears trail 10-0 at halftime.
