With Brian Hoyer not turning the ball over, the offensive line clicking, and Jordan Howard playing like a star, the offense looks good right now. That trend will continue against Jacksonville and the Bears will top 400 yards of offense again. They won’t approach the 500+ they had against the Colts, but 400 yards against a better defense will be nothing to sneeze at.

The Bears will show that this team is continually improving and significantly better than the team they were the first couple weeks of the season. Whether it’s too late to right the ship this season is still anybody’s guess but it will be better seeing the Bears competitive for another week.
