The second-half struggles by Fields and Chicago’s defense spoiled a spectacular performance from Jakeem Grant.
Bears
Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears (4-8) will meet Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (9-3) on Sunday Night for the 204th game between the two franchises.
Bears
They fell behind 21-7 and were on their way to their sixth loss in seven games. Technical issues only compounded problems the Bears had playing in wind, cold, and rain against a team accustomed to warm weather and a dome.
Bears
Andy Dalton led the Bears on an 18-play, 69-yard drive that took the final 8:30 off the clock. Dalton finished 24 of 39 for 317 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT.
Bears
Justin Fields left the game with a rib injury in the third quarter and Andy Dalton gave the Bears the lead with 1:44 remaining, but the defense couldn't hold on and Chicago lost its fifth straight, 16-13 to the Baltimore Ravens.
Bears
Mack’s injury has been a problem since the Bears played Cleveland in Week 3, but he tried to play through it until going to the sidelines for the Oct. 31 game against San Francisco, and hasn't returned. Mack will have surgery next week.
Bears
Fields and Chicago's offense struggled for three quarters before coming alive in the fourth. The 11th overall pick in this year's draft passed for 291 yards and a score and ran for another 45 but it wasn't quite enough.
Bears
Mack, who leads the team with six sacks, missed his first game since 2018 because of a foot injury. The Bears lost Jackson on the second play to a hamstring injury.
Bears
Wew, lads. Not gonna lie to ya, that one was pretty rough.
Bears
Even if they were at full strength, the Bears are in for another tough task. Brady may not own the Bears the way Aaron Rodgers has over the years, but the three-time MVP is 5-1 in six games against Chicago.
Bears
So far we've been unable to confirm any ownership investments made by Aaron Rodgers into any Arlington Heights ventures, but we're still working on it.
Bears
They could be without their top two rushers, with David Montgomery (sprained knee) on injured reserve and Damien Williams placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday.
