Three big-picture takeaways from the Bears’ “Sunday Night Football” game against the Chargers:
A good QB dominated them
It was clear from the get-go that Justin Herbert wasn’t Brian Hoyer. One week after the Bears defense beat up on the Raiders’ backup in a pinch-hitting role, they looked lost against the Chargers’ quarterback. In the first half alone, Herbert threw for three touchdowns and posted a 141.6 passer rating.
They’re not built to rally
Against the Raiders, Tyson Bagent running a methodical offense was exactly what the Bears needed — they were never in danger of blowing a lead the way they did against the Broncos.
