Good morning, and as you wake up today, the Bears are still absent in the win column.
However close the Bears were to the upset of the Atlanta Falcons despite a passing game that struggled mightily through the better part of three quarters (and a chunk of the fourth) and a miscommunication leading to a long 88-yard touchdown drive, it was all for naught as the Falcons held off their furious four-down aerial assault.
It’s one of those things where you’d look at a six point loss to the defending NFC champions and probably be willing to take it in pre-season predictions and the like, but watching it in person is a different story.
