Bears defense makes no excuses after laying an egg vs. Pack

Packers running back Aaron Jones (33) runs away from Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards (53) on his way to a 35-yard touchdown reception that gave the Packers a 24-6 lead in the third quarter.

The swagger that the Bears’ defense showed against Justin Fields and the formative Bears offense in training camp was nowhere to be found against Jordan Love and the Packers on Sunday.

Rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson provided some early juice with a big hit on Packers rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed on the defense’s second play from scrimmage. But what seemed like a tone-setter became a mere blip in a disappointing, discouraging 38-20 loss at Soldier Field.
