WHEN THE BEARS HAVE THE BALL

After failing to score until the last minute of the third quarter against the Commanders last week (on D’Andre Swift’s 56-yard touchdown run), the Bears again will be focused on getting off to a better start. They’ve scored one touchdown in the first quarter in seven games (only the Eagles have scored fewer).

Playing cleaner would help. The Bears had a delay-of-game penalty on the third play of their first drive, and left tackle Braxton Jones had a false start on the second drive.
