The Chicago Bears capturing their fifth win this season has proved very elusive. Four weeks ago, it was only preventing a Hail Mary from midfield in Washington to accomplish the objective … but Jayden Daniels did complete the pass from mid-field that dropped the Bears season record to four wins and three losses.
The next week, in Arizona, Chicago got clobbered by the Cardinals, 29-9, evening their season mark at four wins and four losses. The following Sunday, at home as a touchdown favorite, the Bears were shut down by the New England Patriots, 19-3.
Panic set in on the group that play their home games at Soldier Field.
They fired their offensive coordinator; the kind of decision that usually indicates the head coach is trying to keep his job while passing blame for losses to subordinates.
Still, the Bears put up a valiant fight against the talented Green Bay Packers in front of their home fans last Sunday and reduced the game to a 46-yard field goal to win their fifth contest of the season.
Didn’t happen.
