NFL Fans Crushed the Bears After Their Dreadful Collapse Against the Broncos

The Bears’ 2023 season just keeps getting worse.

Chicago entered Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos with a 0–3 record. But quarterback Justin Fields came out strong in the beginning, helping the Bears to a 21–7 first half lead. Fields completed 16-of-17 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns in the first 30 minutes. On the first drive of the second half, Fields threw another touchdown pass to extend the lead to 28–7.

Then things went wrong. The Broncos scored a touchdown, then another, followed by a fumble touchdown on consecutive drives. All of a sudden, the game was tied at 28 points.

The Bears then tried to convert a play on 4th-and-1 on their next drive, but failed to get a first down. Denver made a field goal on the following possession to take a 31–28 lead with just under two minutes left.

Fields led the Bears near field goal range on the next drive, but threw an interception to end the game and complete one of the roughest collapses in this NFL season so far.

Obviously, NFL fans were highly critical of the Bears' performance and coach Matt Eberflus on social media. Fans are ready to see a new coach in Chicago, it sounds like. Take a look at some of the reactions.
