The Bears were fairly consistent with their scoring output, producing 17-23 points in 11 of their 16 games. They tallied more than 30 points twice—in a 37-34 loss to the Lions and a 37-13 win over the Rams—after not reaching that plateau in 2014 for the first time in franchise history. The Bears were also shut out 26-0 in Seattle Sept. 27 for the first time since the 2002 season finale, a 15-0 loss to the Buccaneers in Champaign. The Bears scored first in just four of 16 games and were slow starters in both halves, tallying 41 points in the first quarter, 125 in the second, 45 in the third and 124 in the fourth.
