Where the Bears rank statistically after Week 2

The Chicago Bears (0-2) were defeated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0), 27-17, where Chicago dropped to 12 straight losses dating back to last season.

The Bears are coming off a disheartening loss to the Buccaneers, where Chicago was in a position to win (or at the very least tie) the game. But those self-inflicted mistakes reared their ugly head, culminating in a Justin Fields pick-6 to seal the game for Tampa Bay.
