Chicago Bears’ Week 4 Report Card

Just when you think you have them all figured out, they go and do something totally different. In Week 4 of the 2016 NFL season, the Chicago Bears actually looked like a good football team with a 17-14 win over the Detroit Lions. With this victory, the Bears (1-3) not only earned their first win of the year, but they also snapped a six-game losing streak to the Lions, and avoided their first 0-4 start since 2000.

Despite having a laundry list of players on the injury report entering Week 4, Chicago’s offense was well managed by both the running and passing games, while their defense found a way to stymie the Lions’ third-ranked passing attack and held Detroit’s entire offense under 100 yards in the first half. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a much-needed turnaround for the Bears, and the first of many more victories to come. Take a look at this week’s grades.
