Bears film review: Some good, but a lot of bad for QB Nick Foles in starting debut

New Bears starting quarterback Nick Foles was nowhere near the upgrade the team hoped he’d be — or that most of Chicago thought he’d be after lighting up the Falcons a week earlier — in its 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Foles finished 27 of 42 for 249 yards with a touchdown and an interception. While that yardage total is actually decent by Bears standards, the 5.9 yards per attempt marked the 12th-lowest by one of their quarterbacks since Matt Nagy took over in 2018. Foles also has two of the worst completion percentages over the last three seasons at 55.
