LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Sifting through the wreckage of the Chicago Bears’ 26-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns last week leads to one conclusion: The offense failed on virtually every level imaginable.
The numbers are gruesome: six first downs; 1-of-11 on third downs; 47 net yards; 1 net passing yard; 1.1 average yards per offensive play -- the second-lowest mark in the NFL in 20 years; nine sacks allowed.
