The Bears defense got Brocked in humiliating fashion in their loss to the Dolphins Sunday. I want to think this represents a momentary lapse. I’m more-or-less happy blaming it on some kind of curse, hex, or astrological misalignment, but others have proposed a more “scientific” explanation that seems like its worth investigating. Apparently, it was hot in Miami on Sunday. As the story goes, defenses sometimes get heat fatigue, especially late in hot games. Could that be why the Bears gave up 15 points in the 4th quarter and a mountain of yards in overtime?
