Bears couldn’t stop Jordan Love and didn’t have the quarterback who could outplay him

New York Times  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Chicago Bears saw a great quarterback Sunday. Whether that means changing the quarterback himself, or the group around him, we don’t know, but it has to get better if the Bears are going to beat Love’s Packers. He’s getting the ball out of his hands.” Whenever the Bears got near Love, he was able to escape and get the ball to one of his receivers. Bears defensive end DeMarcus Walker credited Love, but also Packers coach Matt LaFleur, for keeping the Packers’ passing game in a rhythm. Walker stopped one of his answers to say, “Tell you what, though, got to pay Jaylon Johnson.” But the Bears weren’t going against Pro Bowlers on the offensive line or at receiver.
