The Bears lost on Sunday. Again.
A 24-17 loss to the Saints in New Orleans saw the Bears fall to 2-7 for the 2023 NFL regular season. There were flashes of encouraging play, but no matter how many chances the Saints gifted them to get back in the game in the fourth quarter, Chicago was unable to capitalize.
Here are some of my takeaways from Sunday’s loss in the Big Easy.
Offense
The “Tyson Bagent is a starter” hype train got derailed against the Saints.
Things started off well enough, as the undrafted rookie distributed the ball well and was able to lead the Bears to an opening-drive touchdown, as well as a 14-14 tie heading into halftime.
