After an exciting start to the game, the Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon by a score of 38-17, falling to 2-2 on the season.
The offense found a rhythm from the start, scoring on its first possession, but it struggled with inconsistency for the remainder of the game. Two costly interceptions by Jay Cutler in the third quarter helped seal the victory for the Packers.
Head coach Marc Trestman was not pleased with his team’s performance on Sunday afternoon.
“Certainly a disappointing loss for us and the guys in the locker room. Home game, divisional opponent,” Trestman said to the media after the game, via Adam Hoge of TheGameChicago.com.
The offense was able to rack up 496 yards of total offense against the Packers, but it was only able to get the football into the end zone twice.
While the offense tried its best to keep the team in the game, the defense struggled all afternoon with trying to get pressure on Aaron Rodgers with Jared Allen out of the lineup with an illness.
“We didn’t get the kind of pass rush we needed today,” Trestman said about his defense to the media, via Hoge. “When [Rodgers] was in the pocket, he was able to have the time to get done what he needed to get done.”
Rodgers was able to get done what he needed to get done, finishing the game with 302 passing yards and four touchdowns.
With the Detroit Lions getting another victory in Week 4, the Bears now sit third in the NFC North standings behind Detroit (3-1) and Green Bay (2-2) with a difficult matchup against the Carolina Panthers looming ahead in Week 5.
