Well, that stunk.
The Bears went to Lambeau Field and now need to find a way to recover from a 31-7 beating at the hands of the Packers that felt worse than it actually was.
The first chance the Bears get to get over that loss comes this week against the Falcons.
Atlanta is coming off a primetime overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens, where quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered a rib injury. That leaves his status for next Sunday in question, which is reminiscent of how the Bears’ quarterback situation is coming into this week.
Will the Bears have Caleb Williams back this week? It remains to be seen. Whatever the Bears do will most likely come to light.
