Kicker Connor Barth continued to give fans a reason to still wish that Robbie Gould was still in a Bears uniform after missing a 50-yard field goal. However, Barth redeemed himself by connecting on a 25-yarder early in the fourth quarter, which eventually was the difference in this contest. Chicago’s special teams unit made the game interesting under the two-minute mark by surrendering a 65-yard punt return for a touchdown, which cut their lead to three points.
