The Chicago Bears went to Lambeau Field with a 3-1 record, two consecutive victories, and legitimate reasons to believe they could beat the Green Bay Packers without Caleb Williams and Kyle Monangai.

They left with a 31-7 loss that exposed just how fragile this team might actually be.

Green Bay scored touchdowns on its first two possessions, Jordan Love threw for 367 yards, and the Bears committed five turnovers. Chicago's offense managed just 246 yards after averaging 433.5 in its previous two games.
