Looking at the defensive side of the ball, the Bears struggled against the Patriots' rushing attack, which finished with 144 yards.

Averaging 4.1 yards per carry as a team, the Patriots rushing attack was headlined by Rhamondre Stevenson, who finished with 74 yards on 20 carries. As a unit, the Patriots were committed to running the football from the start, and as their lead grew throughout the game, methodically taking time off the clock became only more intriguing.

Sunday was another step in what has become a worrisome trend for a talented Bears defense. For the seventh time this year, the Bears allowed 100+ team rushing yards, and their average per game allowed since the bye has skyrocketed to 175 yards. With Andrew Billings now out for the year, the middle of the Bears' defense seems to be an exploitable weakness for opposing offenses, and the Patriots made sure to capitalize.
