Bears rushing game wasn’t great either and they scored 41 points. 64 yards rushing and 190 total yards on offense. Must be nice to have a great defense contributing points and short fields for easy points. Wish the Chiefs had the Bears defense.

Here's the thing about the Bears though - do they have ANY chance to win anything this year?
No.
Next year? Probably not, they burned a ton of draft capital to get Mack and their cap situation is worse than ours. They don't have a 1 the following year either. Where is their room for growth/upside? Anthony Miller look like a guy that's going to change their fortunes? Jordan Howard?
Sure, I'd like their defense - but that's the point; it isn't about defense anymore. They've allocated a ton of resources to building a solid D and in so doing they've ensured they won't really win anything of consequence for the next 3-4 years and then they have to make a decision on Trubisky without knowing exactly what he's going to be.
Right now that guy smells a lot like Bortles and the Bears have a similar long-term outlook to me.
