There were a lot of things that looked bad for the Chicago Bears’ offense in their 27-24 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.
Besides the five turnovers, including an uncharacteristic four interceptions by quarterback Caleb Williams, Chicago was also penalized nine times. Offensive lineman Jonah Jackson was happy was about the win, but also acknowledged it did not live up to the Bears’ standards.
"A win’s a win, so you’re obviously happy about it," Jackson said. "To our standard, it wasn’t exactly what we want it to be. There’s a lot of things on tape that we need to fix and clean up. Nothing that we can’t be better on next game. You always got to be your toughest critic, and especially in a game like that where we kept it close
and it probably shouldn’t have been."
This marked the second time this season Chicago has turned the ball over five times in a game. The first time was their loss to the Green Bay Packers, when Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum played at quarterback. Turnovers have been a problem for the Bears this season as they have the fifth-most turnovers of any team in the NFL after the first nine weeks of the season.
The bye week comes at the right time for Chicago to reset and address some of their offensive issues, especially their turnovers and penalties since they are also the sixth-most penalized team in the league.
