The Bears hit their low point Oct. 1 when they blew a 21-point lead at home to lose their 14th-straight game. With about three minutes to play and the game tied, the same Broncos team that had allowed 70 points one week earlier stuffed Khalil Herbert on fourth-and-a-half-yard and eventually kicked a field goal to win.
Afterward, coach Matt Eberflus explained why he went for it on fourth down but couldn’t quite articulate what happened to disgruntled receiver Chase Claypool, who was inactive.
