The Bears have fallen, and they can’t get up.
The trip to Los Angeles on Sunday night offered up a Rams team that went into the game struggling every bit as badly as the Bears and in even worse shape injury-wise with two starting offensive linemen and two of their top three receivers on the sideline.
Yet in spite of outplaying the Rams in the first half and all night long, the Bears still went to the locker room at halftime down 10-0.
On a day in which the Vikings came back from a 20-0 deficit to the Broncos and the 49ers rallied after being down 16-0 to the Cardinals, it was impossible to escape the feeling that, down by 10, the Bears were toast.
