Bears defense knows it can be better — ‘We wanted to have a goose egg’

Danny Trevathan expected more.

“We were at the point where we wanted to have a goose egg,” the Bears inside linebacker said after Sunday’s 17-16 loss to the Chargers. “It didn’t hit like we wanted to. We could be a little bit better — like one or two plays hit us over the top.”

The first one came with three minutes to play in the first half. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, not known for his arm strength, threw from the left hash to the right sideline, where Mike Williams caught a pass for 43 yards. Melvin Gordon ran for a 19-yard touchdown on the next play.
