Alex Bars got his first start with the Chicago Bears. It did not go well

Many fans have wanted the Chicago Bears to start second-year UDFA Alex Bars. However, it was not like this. With injuries and COVID-19 plaguing the offensive line, the Bears had to trot out Bars at center, a position he had never played before.

The game went about as you expected. Beyond one fumbled snap, Bars looked overmatched and overpowered on nearly every single play. Expectations were low and he may not have met them.
