The Bears faced off against the Falcons, who had a top 10 defense going into week 17. It was predicted to be a close game, especially with the Falcons coming off a big win over the Colts in the previous week. However, from the first drive of the game, the Bears were dominating.
The game ended in a Bears 37-17 point win. Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke, who went 22/33 with 229 passing yards the past week, finished the Bears matchup with only 10 completions on 29 attempts, along with 3 interceptions. The Bears defense was all over the field, and looked like a top 5 defensive unit.
Not only was the defense at its very best, but the offense looked powerful. This offense has struggled quite a bit this season, but yesterday, they looked like a contender.
Justin Fields went 20/32 on passing completions, with a total of 313 yards and 2 touchdowns with passing and rushing combined. WR DJ Moore also had himself a game, where he made 9 catches for 159 yards, along with 1 touchdown. This duo was unstoppable, and the Falcons defense looked scared.
Though the Bears will be missing the playoffs this season, they are finishing the year off on a great note, and this gives a lot of the fans something to be happy about!
