Five takeaways from Bears-Washington

The Bears fell to 5-8 and it's time to examine what was learned from the 24-21 loss to Washington.

That game yesterday felt a little different. In the first two quarters I was angry. The Bears were getting throttled, surrendering two huge drives to Washington, including a 15-play, 80-yard drive to open the game.

The Bears took the play and when eight yards in five plays (thanks to a penalty) and then allowed Washington to go 93 yards in 3:18 on just eight plays.

Down 14-0 I really felt like the game could be over.
