7.1%
Outside of protecting the quarterback, the Bears' biggest offensive struggles against the Patriots were on third down, where they converted at a rate of just 7.1%.
A third-quarter pass to Cole Kmet that went for six yards served as the offense's lone success on 14 third-down attempts throughout Sunday's loss. Williams was able to pick up a fourth-and-four conversion on the team's lone scoring drive, but the Bears' inability to move the ball beyond the sticks consistently is obviously a sign of serious offensive woes.
The offense had 11 possessions on Sunday, four of which resulted in a three-and-out. Similarly, two drives moved the chains but ultimately resulted in fewer than 10 yards due to the aforementioned sacks. Their field goal drive served as the only possession in which they moved the ball more than 25 yards downfield, and they ultimately punted eight times prior to two fourth-quarter possessions that ended on downs. Following this showing, it has become abundantly clear that the Bears' offense is deeply flawed, and it would not be surprising to see a change made in the offensive play-caller.
