Bears Struggle Offensively in Loss to Colts

The Chicago Bears suffered a 21-16 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, continuing their offensive struggles despite facing a weak defense. They recorded a dismal 8.5% success rate on second downs, the lowest in the NFL, and their run game, led by D’Andre Swift, averaged only 1.8 yards per carry, raising concerns over play-calling and player performance. The offensive line has allowed 13 sacks in three games and ranked near the bottom in rushing yards, suggesting systemic issues that require urgent attention from coaching staff. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has also faced challenges, highlighted by two interceptions and significant pressure from opposing defenses. Calls for re-evaluating offensive strategies and personnel are growing, particularly advocating for more carries for Roschon Johnson over Swift. Without substantial changes, the Bears risk further decline in their season and fan support.
