The Chicago Bears keep finding ways to lose games in the Matt Eberflus era, and this one was served up to the New Orleans Saints on a silver platter. Not only were the penalties slanted in the Saints' favor with 8 for 71 yards against the Bears and just 1 for 5 on New Orleans, but Chicago turned the ball over five times to zero from the Saints.
Considering all the mistakes from Eberflus' team, the fact this was only a 24 to 17 loss is remarkable.
The Bears did outgain the Saints 368 yards to 301, and they had more first downs, 20 to 18, but overcoming a 5-0 turnover margin is something that hasn't been done in 25 years.
