Studs and duds from Bears’ heartbreaking loss to the Steelers

The Chicago Bears-Pittsburgh Steelers game was a tale of two halves as the Bears couldn’t do anything on offense for much of the first half, but exploded in the second half to nearly steal a game on the road. The Steelers had the big lead early and kept the game out of reach for much of the night, but the Bears clawed their way back thanks to Justin Fields and a little special teams luck.

Late in the game and trailing by six, Fields took the offense the distance to take the lead late after he found Darnell Mooney for the go-ahead touchdown. But he left Ben Roethlisberger too much time on the clock, allowing the Steelers to win the game on a field goal. A last-second effort couldn’t amount to anything and the Bears lost 29-27 in a game filled with questionable penalties and sloppy performances from both teams.

There were some outstanding performances on the Bears side, however, while others really disappointed on the national stage. Here are the studs and duds from Monday night’s loss.
