Bears defense smothers Raiders, allowing offense to take baby steps towards competence

The Bears defense played a great game and the offense did enough. It’s hard to feel satisfied watching any Bears game that doesn’t involve Justin Fields convincingly carving up a defense. But the Bears were supposed to be outmatched in this game and they played hard, kept the game ugly, and gave the Raiders an unexpected taste of raw ursine power.

The Bears offense couldn’t resist making us cringe in the first quarter

The Bears mixed a little of John Fox run, run, 3rd and long magic with a little Nagy “what the hell was that” and Fields topped it off with a Trubisky-esque lateral throw out of bounds for a 7 yard loss.
