Where the Bears rank statistically after Week 8

The Chicago Bears (3-5) were defeated, 49-29, by the Dallas Cowboys (6-2), where the offense had its best showing of the season.

Sure, the defense was a massive disappointment (and it’s not going to get better now that both Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn are gone). But the emergence of quarterback Justin Fields and this offense should make things exciting heading into the final nine games of the 2022 season.
