The Chicago Bears suffered a significant and demoralizing loss to the New England Patriots in Week 10 of the NFL season. The Patriots dominated the game with a 19-3 victory, highlighted by their defense's impressive performance, which included nine sacks on Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. This loss marked the second consecutive game where the Bears failed to score a touchdown, a streak not seen in the franchise for 20 years[2].
The Bears' offense was particularly inept, managing only 69 net passing yards and 142 total yards of offense. The team's offensive line was heavily criticized for its poor performance, allowing Williams to be sacked multiple times and failing to protect him adequately[5].
The game has intensified calls for significant changes within the Bears' coaching staff, with head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron facing severe criticism for the team's lack of preparation and ineffective playcalling. The Bears' performance has led to speculation that the players may have given up on the current coaching regime[2][5].
The Patriots, on the other hand, saw positive contributions from their rookies, including quarterback Drake Maye and wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk, who connected for a touchdown pass. The Patriots' defense was the standout performer, with their nine sacks being a key factor in their victory[1][4].
