Chicago’s coaching staff actually called more than 20 run plays throughout the game, but they got little to nothing from the ground attack. So, the high number of pass plays (51) is understandable. However, the play calling did seem too conservative at times when the Bears could have just put the game out of reach; which explains the low score. Another head-scratcher was John Fox’s decision to not use any of their three timeouts near the end of the first half in an attempt to put points on the board before halftime.
