Bears Grades: Too early for conclusions about offense

HOUSTON – The debut of Dowell Loggains as Bears offensive coordinator did not go as planned; any game that ends in a loss by definition did not go as planned.

But against one of the NFL’s premier defenses, particularly in the front seven, the Bears did manage two extended touchdown drives in the first half. Then in the second half, they managed no possession longer than 24 yards.

Conclusion? Insufficient data.

“I don’t know,” conceded quarterback Jay Cutler. “You don’t see defenses like [Houston’s] week in and week out. Just going to get home [pass-rushing] with four or five.
