After an abysmal first half, the team was able to rally in the second half, tying the game 21-21 in the fourth quarter. The Bears lost after an underthrown pass by Caleb Williams was intercepted on fourth and one. While the Bears’ quarterback did not play well enough to win, he was not the sole reason the Bears lost on Sunday.
The Bears’ defense simply failed to execute multiple times. From missed tackles to blown coverage to lack of effort, the Bears’ defense could not get it done.
In particular, a crucial mistake in the late fourth quarter is what cost the Bears the most.

Late in the fourth quarter, Packers running back Josh Jacobs was able to escape three Bears defenders on third and short. This run led to the Packers scoring the game-winning touchdown.
On the play, Montez Sweat and Gervon Dexter missed tackles on Jacobs, ultimately falling to the ground. To make matters worse, cornerback Jaylon Johnson showed a lack of effort on the play, pretty much refusing to tackle.

If the Bears were able to stop Jacobs, the Packers would have likely settled for a field goal. Missing these tackles in a crucial third down is unacceptable. This simply cannot happen, especially against a rival team.

This play should have been easily stopped for a loss of yards, instead it ultimatley cost the Bears a win.
The Bears’ defense is going to need to improve fast. The team will look to bounce back to first in the NFC North in Week 15, against the Cleveland Browns.
