It was a testament to building a team the right versus the wrong way as the Chicago Bears<\/a> got beat by the Los Angeles Rams \u2018other guys\u2019. This was no comedy for Bears fans. Their team got embarrassed on Monday Night Football casting a broader shadow over their early success. Chicago, despite still having the third-best record in the NFC, has been doubted every step of the way. They gave more credence than ever to the naysayers in this one.<\/p>\n

Bears Lose to Selves, Rams \u2018Other Guys\u2019<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m Sorry, Who?<\/h3>\n

We spent all week<\/a> talking up Robert Woods<\/a><\/strong> and Cooper Kupp<\/a><\/strong> but it ended up being Josh Reynolds<\/a><\/strong> who ended up leading his team in receiving yardage. Malcolm Brown<\/a><\/strong>, not Darrell Henderson<\/a><\/strong> who lead the team in rushing, dealt the deathblows down the stretch. It was Johnny Mundt<\/a><\/strong>, not Gerald Everett<\/a><\/strong> who caught a big third down, though Everett later scored a touchdown. Woods and Kupp combined for 14 touches and 104 yards.<\/p>\n

Kyle Fuller<\/a><\/strong> had a rough outing with Reynolds and rookie Jaylon Johnson<\/a><\/strong> got tagged with defensive pass interference, but it was Brown\u2019s runs and those wide receiver handoffs that are cause for concern. Brown (10\/57\/1) and Henderson (15\/64) averaged 4.84 yards per carry; reminiscent of what the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers backs were able to do.<\/p>\n

Johnny Mundt had all of one catch for a whopping five yards. He finished Monday with three grabs for 47 yards, including a 34-yarder that had the Rams threatening. Safety John(ny on the spot) Johnson<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s one-handed interception in the endzone with the Bears threatening perfectly encapsulated the Bears evening. Even when doing their best they were a step behind and below the Rams.<\/p>\n

Per @PFF<\/a>, Nick Foles was under pressure on 20 of his 44 drop-backs. <\/p>\n

And yet he still had a better passer rating under pressure (74.2) than he did when he wasn't pressured (61.8).<\/p>\n
