Things seemed promising for Chicago as the game unfolded. With Justin Fields delivering one of his best performances, the Bears built a commanding 21-point lead by the end of the third quarter. However, dreams of a victory quickly evaporated in the final period. The Broncos, having recalibrated their strategy, exploited late-game turnovers by the Bears, engineering a stunning comeback to steal the win.
After analyzing the gameplay, Pro Football Focus provided player grades for each participant in the Bears' Week 4 bout. The top defensive grades for Chicago were as follows:
1. DE DeMarcus Walker - PFF grade: 79.02. LB T.J. Edwards - PFF grade: 76.63. CB Terell Smith - PFF grade: 66.74. CB Greg Stroman Jr. - PFF grade: 61.95. CB Tyrique Stevenson - PFF grade: 57.7
Despite these individual performances, the overall state of the Bears' defense is concerning. The recurring inability to maintain leads and the overall team performance suggests a challenging season ahead. Given their current trajectory, it's becoming increasingly clear that the Bears may have already lost their footing this year, and significant changes might be needed if they hope to salvage the remainder of the season.
