Where the Bears rank statistically after Week 1

The Chicago Bears (0-1) were defeated by the Green Bay Packers (1-0), 38-20, where Chicago dropped to 11 straight losses dating back to last season.

It was an ugly outing from start to finish, although the fact the Bears trailed 10-6 at halftime seemed like a miracle. But things got out of control quickly in the second half, where the Packers outscored Chicago 28-14. The Bears were outcoached, outplayed and outclassed in every facet.
