Another Bears Sunday squandered: What went wrong in Indianapolis?

New York Times  

INDIANAPOLIS — For a brief moment, the Chicago Bears had finally unlocked something on offense. “See what I could’ve done differently to make it happen.” A quick glance at the Bears’ box score and it looked like a lot of things started to click for a woeful offense. It’s gonna come together for us, but we’ve got to figure it out.” The Bears defense, from Tremaine Edmunds’ interception in the end zone on a Jack Sanborn deflection, to Jaylon Johnson’s pick to start the second half, to the fourth-down stand, gave the offense chance after chance. “Every game this season, we’ve had multiple opportunities to put the game away,” Swift said. I’ve got to be better.” This Bears team is supposed to avoid the statistical anomalies so many prior ones have accumulated.
