The New England Patriots lost to the Chicago Bears by a 33-14 score on Monday night. Monday’s game marked the return of quarterback Mac Jones. Unfortunately for Jones, he was replaced by rookie Bailey Zappe at the midpoint of the game.
This sent Twitter into a frenzy.
On top of that, the Patriots were not able to stop the Bears offense. Justin Fields had a strong game for the Bears, as they were able to pull off the upset under the primetime lights.
Today, we take a look at some of the best reactions from this Monday Night Football matchup, as the Patriots fall back below .500 win percentage.

What the serious fudge was that? That was supposed to be a football game? It looked like the Patriots were trying to smother an injured animal. Not even trying to look competitive?

Name Zappe the starter and fix the defense. Justin fields out here looking like 2015 Cam Newton

I'm not sure who these #Patriots are….Jekyell and Hyde comes to mind. It's like they decided "ehhh we're all set". #bearsvspatriots

Didn’t recover any of the 6 fumbles and couldn’t get off the field on third down all night. All things considered might be the most embarrassing regular season loss in Patriots history

Can someone please convince me that the #Patriots defense or offensive line even tried to exist tonight? I am less than convinced. Actually, I’m stunned by the lack of effort.

Secondary getting embarrassed by one of the worst passing offenses is pathetic. Absolutely unreal.
