Just when you think the Chicago Bears have hit rock bottom, they continuously surprise you with each passing week. Sunday night’s 41-25 beatdown by the Green Bay Packers on primetime was a new low in Chicago’s abysmal 2020 season.
The Bears have now lost five straight games since their 5-1 start. Only this time, in a shocking turn of events, it was Chicago’s defense that let them down. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers carved up the Bears defense, where Green Bay’s offense scored four touchdowns in the red zone against the NFL’s best red zone defense.
But, to no one’s surprise, Chicago’s offense was once again a complete and utter disappointment. While things looked promising early on for Mitchell Trubisky in his first start since Week 3, things soon turned ugly as Trubisky committed three turnovers — two interceptions and a fumble. But it wasn’t just Trubisky, as has been the case all season. The entire offense stumbled.
In fact, the entire Bears team stumbled on the primetime stage against their biggest rivals. And you have to wonder if this game — and what’s to follow — has sealed general manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy’s fates in Chicago.
