Chicago Bears’ Week 5 Report Card
There were so many good things to take away from the Chicago Bears’ Week 5 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Offensively, Chicago had a 300-yard passer, a 100-yard rusher, a 100-yard receiver, over 500 yards in offense, and they scored more than 20 points for the first time this season. On the defensive side of the ball, the Bears’ 26th ranked run defense held the Colts under 100 yards on the ground, and their pass rush racked up five sacks. Despite all of the stat-filling numbers, Chicago still found themselves on the losing end of the game by the score of 29-23.
