The Chicago Bears came into Week 14 with a 5-7 record following a disappointing loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, and they dropped another disappointing game on Sunday against the Washington Redskins.
Chicago gained 377 yards of total offense, including 315 yards through the air with quarterback Jay Cutler, but the offense struggled to find a rhythm all afternoon. The defense gave up 374 yards of total offense to the Redskins—including 132 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter.
The Bears had a chance to send the game into overtime late in the fourth quarter, but kicker Robbie Gould missed a 50-yard field-goal attempt.
After the game, Cutler was unable to explain why Chicago has struggled to close out games this year.
“I feel like we’ve had so many of these,” he said, per Chicago Bears radio network sideline reporter Zach Zaidman. “In the games we win, we figure out a way. In the games we don’t, we don’t figure out a way.”
The loss dropped the Bears to 1-6 at Soldier Field on the season, and their chances of making the postseason are now slim.
