The Bears defeated the Arizona Cardinals 16-14 in a very sloppy game. The defense was once again the big story, forcing 4 straight turnovers in the second half after a rough first few drives were some broken coverages gave up two easy touchdowns. The offense, once again was rough for the most part, struggling to finish once in the red zone. Although it wasn’t pretty, a win’s a win and the Bears or on top of the NFC North once again.
Let’s start with the good:
3. Bryce Callahan
Was between him or Eddie Jackson, but I went with Callahan since his pick pretty much shut the door closed and ended the Josh Rosen fairy tale ending.
2. Khalil Mack
It’s been hard not to include Mack on this list since he’s been so dominant in these first few games. Mack sacked Bradford twice (forcing a fumble on one) and added five tackles including one for a loss.
1. Sherrick McManis
McManis had a monstrous game, intercepting Sam Bradford for his first pick since his rookie season in 2010. McManis also added a beautiful special teams tackle, and a sack that ended the game. I’ve always liked McManis because of the way he plays special teams, he doesn’t take that phase of the game for granted and because of that he’s made a career for himself. I like to see him play well.
And now for the bad (honestly there wasn’t anybody who was truly awful):
3. Mitch Trubisky
Trubisky for the second game in a row, made some horrendous decisions. From not diving on the fumble, to that throw to Robinson on the crossing route that was nearly intercepted by Tre Boston, to a few bad misses including the fade to Robinson at the goal line. Trubisky has to improve if this offense is going to reach its maximum potential.
2. Coaching Staff
Lots of questionable coaching decisions tonight. Timeout management was bad, the decisions on whether or not to go for it on fourth down were questionable. I also don’t like some of the runs they use Howard on (runs that are clearly more for Cohen). Nagy has made some really weird decisions so far in his career as a head coach. But I have confidence he’ll get better in those areas.
1. Offensive line
I thought it was a disappointing game for this unit, the could not establish a consistent a consistent run game with Howard only averaging 2.5 yards a carry. This being against a mediocre front seven, I expected better from them.
