I was fortunate enough to catch only the 40-minute version, but that was one of the worst games of all time. I had the Bears plus 2.5 as my best bet, and I don't think I've ever rooted for a more futile offense.
- The Bears slowed down Dalvin Cook (30-92-0, 4-4-16), but it wasn't enough as Kirk Cousins made only one mistake, got 8.1 YPA and found his receivers.
- Adam Thielen (7-4-43-2) and Justin Jefferson (10-8-135-0) are the narrowest of trees, though Kyle Rudolph (5-4-63) got extra targets with Irv Smith out.
- Nick Foles was under pressure the whole night, managed only 4.1 YPA and took two sacks before being carted off late in the fourth quarter.
- Cordarrelle Patterson (12-30-0, 2-2-19) provided the only offense with his eighth career kick return TD, tying him for the most all time. Allen Robinson (9-6-43-0) was the next best fantasy player for the Bears, while Jimmy Graham was shut out.
- The Bears defense couldn't get enough pressure on Cousins, who even converted a few second and 20s after holding calls. As I said, it was a tough watch if you had the Bears and the points.
