Chicago Bears Overreaction No. 2: The Chicago Bears might have the worst defense in the NFL
After trading away Robert Quinn the week prior, the Bears were expecting to take a hit on defense, however, it’s unlikely that the Bears expected this much of a downgrade.
There’s younger talent that, if looking at the stat sheet, outperformed Quinn in fewer snaps.
That, however, didn’t show up this week against the Cowboys.
the #Bears gave up the most points in a single game thus far with their 49-29 loss to the #Cowboys.

the next highest is from Week 4 when the #Seahawks won 48-45 against the #Lions.
Not only did the Bears give up 49 points to the Cowboys, but that’s the highest score by a single team this year. The Seahawks somehow have the second-highest with 48. So, it’s much closer than originally anticipated, but the point still remains.
Giving up 49 points and 442 total offensive yards is just a really poor performance; there isn’t much else to comment on.
Jaquan Brisker continues to play well, at least, and Eddie Jackson is tied for the league lead in interceptions. The silver lining, folks.
