For the second time in the last three Sundays, the Bears gave his bosses a reason to fire coach John Fox. Certainly not by design, and not without some level of culpability on the part of Fox and a coaching staff of a team that was outplayed in every phase and for effectively an entire 60 minutes.
But at some point, management will demand accountability for what Sunday’s embarrassment implies.
“The game was not competitive from early on,” Fox said in the sort of statement that indicts effort, preparation, motivation and just about every aspect of what went into the game all week.
