While Mike Glennon was slogging through his four ineffective starts, the message from John Fox — as to why he wasn’t going to make a quarterback change — was that the entire team needed to play better. After the Bears made the switch to Mitchell Trubisky, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said the rookie quarterback wasn’t a “magic wand” who could fix all the other problems plaguing the offense.
On Monday, both the Bears coach and offensive coordinator were proven right with sloppy play from the supporting cast around Trubisky, as well as the quarterback himself. Trubisky made a catastrophic decision late in the fourth quarter when he threw across his body toward Zach Miller, who was blanketed by All-Pro safety Harrison Smith.
