The Bears’ special teams were particularly abysmal Sunday.
On the first punt of the game, Pat O’Donnell’s kick was partially blocked by linebacker Jordan Glasgow. It rolled to a stop 18 yards later and led to a Colts touchdown.
The Bears had four penalties for 32 yards on special teams plays alone: Barkevious Mingo’s illegal block on a kick return, Kindle Vildor’s hold on a punt return, Buster Skrine’s hold on a punt return and, most notably, Cordarrelle Patterson’s unsportsmanlike conduct flag for taking his helmet off to scream at an official after covering a punt. The play before, Patterson had dropped a deep ball from Foles.
