What’s the British term for butt? Is it arse? Bum?
Whatever it is, Bears’ defensive players got theirs kicked Sunday in London.
No one would have been surprised if backup quarterback Chase Daniel had ended up being the bad guy in the loss to the Raiders. That would have been understandable. Poor guy out of his element, bright lights affecting his eyesight, etc. But the Bears’ vaunted defense giving up 24 points to an unremarkable Oakland offense? Unthinkable, right?
Think again.
If jet lag was a factor in the 24-21 loss, then shame on Bears coach Matt Nagy, who opted to have his team arrive in London on Friday, four days after the Raiders did.
