1st-and-10: Best and worst of the Bears’ first half

Saints receiver Taysom Hill (7) beats Bears rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson for a two-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr on Sunday at Caesars Superdome.

The Bears are 2-7 just past the midway point of Matt Eberflus’ second season, and as was the case with Matt Nagy in his second season, the head coach’s side of the ball is the biggest disappointment.

That the Bears’ defense had no sacks and no takeaways in a 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday tells the tale. Despite adding six starters on defense, including five of the front seven, Eberflus’ defense has no bite.
