3 things that stood out in Week 16 loss
The Bears fell to 3-12 with a 41-21 blowout loss to the Washington Redskins Saturday at Soldier Field. Here are three things that stood out about the game:
(1) After showing promise in four previous starts, quarterback Matt Barkley struggled mightily, throwing five interceptions.
Poor decision-making and bad throws plagued Barkley, who was intercepted on the Bears’ first four possessions of the second half and five times overall. One of the picks came when he threw into triple coverage on a deep post pattern intended for Joshua Bellamy. Another occurred when Barkley was trying to avoid a sack and tossed the ball up for grabs over the middle.
