Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Bears running game struggling so much this season?
The Bears have been running the ball straight up the middle on nearly every carry, averaging just 2.43 yards per carry over their last four games, making them statistically the worst rushing offense in the league. David Montgomery had 14 carries against the Rams and all 14 were designed runs up the middle, going right into Aaron Donald and Micah Kiser.
Will the Chicago Bears make the playoffs in 2020?
Yes, the Bears are expected to make the playoffs thanks to a top-five defense, five winnable games remaining on their schedule, and an expanded playoff format that lets seven NFC teams in. They are projected to finish the year with 10 wins.
What is Matt Nagy's biggest problem as Bears head coach?
Nagy's biggest issue is his refusal to adjust his game plan in-game or try anything new offensively, a problem that has persisted for 2.5 years. Against the Rams, the Bears ran no designed screen passes despite facing a strong defensive front, highlighting a predictable and stubborn offensive approach.
Can the Chicago Bears win a Super Bowl this season?
No, a Super Bowl run is not realistic as long as teams like the Packers, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens, and Seahawks are running efficient offenses, because the NFL is an offensive league and the Bears are operating with essentially half a football team offensively.
How did the Bears defense perform in the Monday Night Football loss to the Rams?
Despite the loss, the Bears defense played well enough to actually outscore the offense, with Eddie Jackson recording a fumble recovery touchdown. Chicago's defense remains a top-five unit in the NFL.
