For the first time this season, the offensive line didn’t allow a sack. However, Hoyer did find himself under pressure several times. Although the running game was virtually nonexistent with only 12 running plays, the O-line did help Langford and Howard average 6.3 yards per carry as a tandem. However, that blown-up average was due to two long runs, compared to the other 10 runs that went nowhere. All wasn’t spotless for the offensive front. Left tackle Charles Leno Jr. was flagged on Chicago’s first drive of the game for an illegal-hands-to-the-face penalty, which negated a Kevin White third-down conversion. Rookie center Cody Whitehair and right guard Kyle Long were also flagged for false starts.

Grade: D+
