The Chicago Bears<\/a> finally ran out of luck falling 19-11 to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. This after two fourth-quarter comebacks and two red-zone stands in the previous weeks. Their offense that showed up for one quarter, then two, then one again showed up for none. Things aren\u2019t going to get any easier for the Bears either so let\u2019s look at what went wrong in Week 4.<\/p>\n

Luck Runs Out For Bears vs. Colts<\/h2>\n

Offense Stayed in Atlanta<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by the final score, Bears fans. Chicago basically scored three points in this one, picking up a touchdown to Allen Robinson<\/a><\/strong> (7-101-1) and two-point conversion in very late garbage time. The field goal came on their lone drive with any semblance of rhythm and even that was undone by a botched play. The Bears struggled to do anything as they limped to fewer than 300 yards of total offense for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

Facing the Andy Reid<\/a><\/strong> coaching tree has seemed to be an issue for Matt Nagy<\/a><\/strong>. He\u2019s now 0-4 against the Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles, and Kansas City Chiefs with his offense only scoring four touchdowns, just two of which have been passing. Granted he has had the short end of the talent stick with regards to quarterbacks in these matchups and Sunday proved no different. What it really showed, though, was Nagy too has been part of the offense\u2019s issues.<\/p>\n

The Bears ran only nine times in the first half. One of those was a handoff to rookie Darnell Mooney<\/a><\/strong> and another was a Nick Foles<\/a><\/strong> Scramble. Only six carries went to David Montgomery<\/a><\/strong> (13 touches, 57 yards) as Nagy looked to get Cordarrelle Patterson<\/a><\/strong> involved early and often. For the game, Montgomery had just 13 touches for 57 yards. Nagy said in his day after presser that the Bears have to be able to run the ball, but 16 carries in a game isn\u2019t going to get the job done, no matter how dominant the Colts line, especially Justin Houston<\/a><\/strong> and DeForest Buckner<\/a><\/strong>, looked.<\/p>\n

Bears coach Matt Nagy says holding an opponent to 19 points should win you a game.<\/p>\n

NFL teams that allowed 19 points or fewer have won 82% of their games in 2019 & '20 . The Bears have now lost four times when holding the opponent to 19 or fewer.<\/p>\n
