The Bears were outplayed, outcoached and lacked discipline while being unprepared for this game after a week of distractions.

Bears vs. Cardinals: Studs and duds from Chicago's Week 9 loss
The offense failed to score a touchdown, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was beat up all game (including six sacks) and an injury-depleted defense had their worst outing of the season and allowed more than 21 points for the first time in 14 games. The Bears are now 3-18 in road games under Eberflus, whose job security is a huge question mark at this point of the season, and rightfully so.

Bears vs. Cardinals: Instant analysis of Chicago's Week 9 loss
All the second half had in store was a comedy of errors in Chicago's camp, while all Arizona had to do was keep the ship steady on the way to an easy victory. The offense could only muster punts throughout the rest of the game, with a turnover on downs and a safety adding stinging insult to injury. The game was definitively over well before the clock struck zero. The Bears' disappointing 29-9 loss marks the club's worst loss of the season, as Chicago was outplayed and outcoached throughout the entire contest.
