Bears vs. Patriots: Snap counts Prince Amukamara Jersey , stats, and more All statistics and snap counts are taken directly from the NFL’s Game Statistic and Information System, as are the accompanying pictures. What if I told you that the Chicago Bears would out-gain the New England Patriots (453 yards to 381), have more first downs than them (29 to 21), a better third down conversion rate (8 of 16 for 50% to 6 of 13 for 46%), and drop 31 points on their defense while only allowing Tom Brady and the Pats’ offense to rack up 24 points against them?Most of us would take that, but football is a funny game.Even though the Bears did enough on offense and defense to pick up the win, their special teams allowed two touchdowns, and the Bears lost 38-31 to what is probably the best team in the AFC again in 2018. As fans of a young team, our only hope is that they learn how to play a full sixty minute, three phase game at some point. It’s okay to be pissed off that they aren’t able to close these winnable games out, while also being excited for where this team could be once they do figure everything out. Those two feelings aren’t mutually exclusive. The Bears may be 3-3, but they’ve been fun to watch so far this season. If there’s not a light at the end of the rebuilt tunnel, then we’ve got a Phil Emery/Marc Trestman scenario playing out, and I just don’t believe that to be the case. Let’s take a closer look at the playing time break downs for the Bears, and also some individual stats.OFFENSEThis was one of Mitchell Trubisky’s worst games as a pro. He was erratic all day, he was sacked twice, and he threw two interceptions. He was barely over 50% at 26 for 50, with a passer rating of 69.8, but his 333 yards was the second most in his career, and his third straight game over 300 yards. He also had 6 scrambles for 81 yards, including this fantastic touchdown. Trubisky’s top target was tight end Trey Burton, who came down with 9 of 11 targets for 126 yards and a TD. Tarik Cohen was the most targeted with 12, and he caught 8 for 69 and a TD.Cohen added 14 yards on 6 runs, and a 17 yard punt return. Anthony Miller was targeted 7 times and he hauled in 2 for 35 yards. Taylor Gabriel had 3 receptions for 26 yards. Kevin White — remember him? — caught both of his targets for 64 yards. Allen Robinson II only caught 1 (5 targets) for 4 yards. If Robinson is going to take time off because of his groin injury https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Adam-Shaheen-Jersey , I’d like to see White get those reps instead of Josh Bellamy. Jordan Howard had 39 yards rushing on 12 carries, and a TD. Ha also caught 1 ball for a 9 yard gain. After the game head coach Matt Nagy talked about his displeasure with their ground game saying, “Our run game has to get better.”Agreed, but what seems to be the problem?“It’s everybody,” he said via the Chicago Sun Times. “And we just need to figure out how we can do that, what’s best for us identity-wise. And it’s not one person.”I think the problems with the sputtering running game starts with Nagy. The offensive line hasn’t exactly been great as run blockers, but the team hasn’t stuck with the run enough to see. Chicago’s o-line wasn’t flagged once in the game. DEFENSEThe Bears allowed Tom Brady to have a 108.2 passer rating, and the Patriots’ running game to get 4 yards per carry. Too many snaps for Akiem Hicks and a hobbled Khalil Mack, and not enough for speedy Roquan Smith. Hicks ended up with 2 tackles, and Mack had 1. Smith had 5 tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss. Danny Trevathan led the Bears in tackles with 10. Corner Kyle Fuller had 5 tackles, an interception and 2 passes defended. Safety Eddie Jackson also had 5 tackles and also the first penalty (a face mask) of his NFL career. Rookie defensive lineman, Bilal Nichols, had his best day as a pro, while also playing the third most snaps among the d-line. He had 4 tackles, a quarterback hit, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.SPECIAL TEAMSThe players listed above only appeared in the third phase.The Patriots had a Cordarrelle Patterson kick return go for a touchdown, and they also had a blocked punt that they returned for a touchdown. For more on the Patterson TD, check out this Tweet. The 4 punts that Patrick O’Donnell got off went for a 34 yard net average. Kicker Cody Parkey was perfect on the day with a 46 yard field goal and 4 extra points, but he only had 2 kickoffs deep enough for touchbacks. Besides his 2 tackles on defense, Nick Kwiatkoski also had 1 on special teams to go along with a forced fumble that DeAndre Houston-Carson recovered. Other Bears’ recording special teams tackles were Ben Braunecker, Joel Iyiegbuniwe, Josh Bellamy, and Benny Cunningham, who also had 92 yards on 4 kickoff returns.

The Philadelphia Eagles may not have beaten the Rams as dominantly as the Bears did a week ago, but they slowed L.A.’s rushing attack and got after quarterback Jared Goff, and held on for a 30-23 win that made the top and bottom of the NFC playoffs more interesting. The Bears are now a game back of the number two seed in the NFC, and the Eagles (7-7) are a half game behind the Minnesota Vikings (7-6-1) for the 6th seed with a long shot still going for the NFC East title. 2) Philly is still alive for their division because the Dallas Cowboys laid an egg against the Indianapolis Colts by getting shut out 23-0. Andrew Luck wasn’t spectacular at QB, but Marlon Mack rushed for the most yards in his career 139 on 27 carries, with 2 TDs, and their defense has started to come around. The 8-6 Colts are still on the outside of the AFC playoff race, but if they can sneak in they have a complete team that could get a win or two. 3) At 6-7-1 the Cleveland Browns are still alive for a playoff spot, but even if they miss out, that team is in good position to compete for the post season for the next several years. They have a young core of talented players on both sides of the ball and the rest of the AFC North has to be a little wary of what they’re building. 4) The New York Giants took running back Saquon Barkley in the 2018 NFL Draft instead of getting a quarterback to replace Eli Manning — which in hindsight looks like a good move because Barkley is an electrifying talent — but they’ll surely get a QB this offseason, right?“Yeah, I want all our players to be back,” Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said a day after his team lost to the Tennessee Titans, 17 to 0. “I believe experience matters.” There’s no way he’s talking about the 37-year old Manning though is he? Yep, Shurmur believes that Manning has “years” left as a starting QB in the NFL, saying that, “Eli playing QB I think gives us the best chance to win.”Manning isn’t playing quite as bad as we all seem to think (he’s completing a career high 65.9% of his passes), but not having a legit back up plan beyond Kyle Lauletta seems like a bad idea. 5) And speaking of the Titans, what’s up with Derick Henry? In his last two games he has 50carries for 408 yards (8.16 ypc) and 6 TDs. Tennessee is 8-6, winners of three straight, but in the 8th seed. They have a winnable game up next against the Washington Redskins, and they close out the 2018 season hosting the Colts. 6) The 8-6 Baltimore Ravens are hanging onto the 6th seed in the AFC, and they’ve won four of their last five games behind QB Lamar Jackson. He hasn’t been very good at passing the ball as a rookie, but he has 427 yards rushing in his 5 starts.He’s been impressive enough that the Ravens are expected to move on from Joe Flacco this offseason. 7) Miami Dolphins’ running back Frank Gore is out for the rest of the season with a sprained foot Pat O'Donnell Jersey , and at 35-years old his career is winding down. He’s currently fourth all-time in rushing yards with 14,748 in 14 seasons, and is that enough to get the 5 time pro bowler into the Hall of Fame? 8) This play almost cost the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. But Carolina Panthers’ QB Cam Newton couldn’t get the ball downfield accurately in their final drive. His shoulder looks bad and they should probably shut him down now that they’re 6-8. 9) The Jacksonville Jaguars are the most disappointing team in football. 10) Leonard Floyd had a slow statistical start to his 2018 season, but he was coming off a season ending knee injury in 2017, and he broke his hand this preseason. Even though he was sackless for so long, I thought he was doing a lot of small things to help the Bears win games. I tweeted out his splits on Monday, but check these out and let me know if you think he wasn’t hampered early on. In his first 7 games he had 17 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 QBH, 1 PD, and a FF, but in the last 7 games Floyd has 23 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 9 QB hits, 2 passes defended, and 1 Int for a TD.He’s also played well in the six games against the Packers in his career with 18 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 5 TFL, 9 QBH, 1 FF and 1 recovery that he returned for a TD. The Bears have to decide on his fifth year option this spring, which will be around $13M, so should GM Ryan Pace pick it up? I say yes.And check this celebration out.11) Since the Bears are on fire this year, I’m cranking the Ten Thoughts up to Eleven because I had to share this latest gem from their social media team.And you can now get your own Club Dub T-Shirt from our friends over at Breaking T.Juct click here to get yours now!
