The Chicago Bears (3-8) were defeated, 27-24, by the Atlanta Falcons (5-6), where all three phases stumbled.
The Bears blew a 17-7 lead in the first half, where the Falcons scored 17 unanswered points to tie things at halftime. Chicago was held to just seven points in the second half. To make matters worse, quarterback Justin Fields suffered a left shoulder injury that could have big implications moving forward in the final six games.
