Bears rookie safety Elijah Hicks (37) played 39 of 62 defensive snaps in place of starter Eddie Jackson, who suffered a foot injury in the second quarter.

The Bears’ rebuilding season is on tilt. But it’s going to take a little more than five consecutive losses, eight losses in their last nine games, an injury to Justin Fields, the departure of two respected captains, a defense that has allowed an average of 29 points over the last five games, concussions to rookie starters Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker and serious injuries to team leaders Darnell Mooney and Eddie Jackson to break them.
