The game-changing mistakes of the Bears offense in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts – Jordan Howard’s first-quarter facemask penalty at the Indianapolis goal line, Cameron Meredith’s lost fourth-quarter fumble, Brian Hoyer’s failure to spot Alshon Jeffery open in the Indianapolis end zone – deserved their prominent focus in a six-point Bears loss.
But something else – actually something elses, plural – is simply not making sense.
The offensive movement – 522 yards – was the fifth-highest total in franchise history. It was also a completely hollow stat, coming in the one game of those top five that was a loss.
