The Chicago Bears' 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers was ugly on the scoreboard. The latest BearsTalk BTX grades suggest it was even uglier beneath the surface.

Chicago had just four players earn a Game BTX grade above 65.0, while 11 of the 22 graded players finished below 40.0. The quarterback position was particularly disastrous, the receiving corps struggled to make an impact, and several established defensive players delivered disappointing performances.

But the numbers also identified a few bright spots, led by Austin Booker and rookie safety Dillon Thieneman.
