Chicago Bears: Why the first two games played out perfectly

The Chicago Bears have had fans watching until the last snap both games

After a hot start which led to a 17-0 first-half lead, the Chicago Bears failed to put any more points on the board for the remainder of the game. The New York Giants had the chance to come back and win the game but would fall short as they fell for the second straight week and Chicago notched their second victory of the season.

But in both games so far, Chicago has cut it extremely close against two of the worst teams in the league. Granted, we don’t know how good or bad most teams are at this point, but it’s safe to say that neither the Giants nor Lions will be contending for a Super Bowl this year.

There are a lot of negatives you can bring up so far, but all-in-all, I truly believe that Chicago is in a great position to find success this year. Think about it – this team could have blown out both of these teams and developed a huge ego despite playing no real competition. Instead, they walked into the locker room shivering in their boots and will be looking to improve all over the field. They’ll be motivated to improve in every facet of the game.

How these two games will impact the Chicago Bears season

In fact, the impact of these two games will go beyond the Chicago Bears locker room. There have been and will be eyes on Chicago coming from Minnesota and Green Bay, two teams that mark the Bears games on their calendar each year. To this point, the team in the Windy City has played two half-games, something that will make the Bears hard to prepare for. Each game, it felt like Matt Nagy was holding back; not showing all of his cards.

But beyond the simplicity of the results, the oddest part of both of these games is the fact that Mitchell Trubisky has played lights-out. During the first half of the Detroit game, he looked pedestrian but showed up in the fourth quarter with a Mahomes-like game. Ever since then, he has played safe and effective football.

Trubisky did have two interceptions, but surprisingly, he was not at fault for either of them. In fact, the finger can be pointed to Allen Robinson, the $18 million receiver who has not been happy with his team lately. Both throws were catchable, but there seemed to be a lack of effort on Robinson’s part. The story of Robinson is one for another day, but the entire team looks improved, but still in check as of right now.
