John Fox cited the Bears were making progress after their 26-6 rout of the 49ers on Sunday. However, the Bears are far behind the mark they set last season. The Bears would have to win out to better their record from last season, and they can only afford one loss if they want to tie it.
In regards to pure statistics, the Bears’ offense has taken a significant step back. They score almost 4 points fewer per game than last year (20.9ppg to 17ppg). The offense has also struggled with taking care of the ball. The Bears suffered 21 total turnovers last season.
