The Chicago Bears plan their trip to Tampa, FL still licking their wounds, ready for a much better showing on offense in games to come. In last week’s loss to the Packers, rookie quarterback Justin Fields took baby steps forward, Cole Kmet finally got involved on offense, and Darnell Mooney continues to get open with excellent precision on his routes. The defense kept the game competitive for over three quarters of football, too.
While the Bears aren’t world-beaters yet, that defense can compete with anybody right now.
The offense is still dead last in the league in total yards per game and passing yards per game.
