Where the Bears rank statistically heading into Week 11
The Chicago Bears (4-5) will host the Green Bay Packers (6-3) in Week 11, where Chicago is looking to snap a three-game losing streak and right the ship amid another week of distraction.
Chicago is coming off an embarrassing 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots, which marked their third straight loss since the bye week. The Bears offense scored a season-low three points against one of the worst defenses in the league, allowed nine sacks to a pass rush that had 16 sacks through eight total games and were held to just 142 total yards. Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron was fired as a result. Chicago's defense did its part, holding New England under 20 points, but this game was lost in the first quarter with an offense that has mustered just 27 points and two touchdowns in the last three games.
