Quarter One
There were four stories to this quarter.
- The strip and recovery by Jonathan Owens stabilized the game for Chicago. There’s a different game script that plays out if the Vikings score easily there.
- The Bears don’t have a pass rush. Zero. Ryan Poles has so much work to do on both lines this off-season.
- The touchdown drive for the Bears was Caleb Williams’s best drive as a professional. That was superstar stuff from the kid, and continued evidence that Thomas Brown is not a coach to be thoughtlessly discarded after the season.
