While Matt Nagy’s offense was the focus after the Bears’ 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday night at SoFi Stadium, Chuck Pagano’s defense took its lumps as well.
A number of uncharacteristic misplays doomed the Bears to a tough night. They allowed 371 yards, including 161 rushing yards. The Rams scored three touchdowns and 24 points in the first three quarters.
A short pass to nondescript Rams tight end Johnny Mundt that turned into a 34-yard gain in the second quarter typified the sloppy performance. Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan missed a tackle at the 37-yard line that allowed Mundt go gain 25 additional yards to the 12.
