What’s the latest with the Chicago Bears?
The Bears were defeated by the Minnesota Vikings, 19-13, on Sunday. It marked the team’s 15th defeat in the last 16 games dating back to last season. Chicago still hasn’t won a home game since Week 3 of the 2022 season.
While the Bears defense had an encouraging outing, it was Chicago’s offense that underwhelmed and underperformed. Quarterback Justin Fields also suffered a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand, which puts his status in question.
Here’s a look at the most recent and relevant Bears stories for the morning of Oct. 16.
