Chicago Bears Form
Chicago are hanging around in the playoff picture after a 3-3 start to the season.
The Bears opened with a 34-14 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams but a week later the defense led them to a 20-17 victory over Cincinnati.
An embarrassing 26-6 loss at Cleveland followed, but Chicago bounced back with back-to-back wins over Detroit (24-14) and Las Vegas (20-9).
They returned to losing ways last weekend though, falling to a 24-14 defeat at home to Green Bay.
QB Justin Fields continues to show flashes even if the stats don’t look great. He is 53/99 for 632 yards, two touchdowns and three picks. He has 102 yards rushing and a score.
Rookie Khalil Herbert has made the most of David Montgomery’s injury. He has rushed for 172 yards and a score in the last two games.
Darnell Mooney leads the team in receiving with 25 catches for 306 yards and a score.
All of this has resulted in the Bears offense ranking third-worst in scoring and last in the league in total offense.
The defense did lead the league in sacks after last weekend though, and it currently ranks #7 in total defense and #8 in points allowed per game.
