The Chicago Bears lost Week 2’s game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 27-17, in another uninspiring performance by the offense and a defense that surrendered over 300 passing yards to Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield.
In some ways, Sunday’s loss was worse than Week 1’s horrendous showing against the Green Bay Packers. At least there were some built-in excuses, like rust in the opener. That wasn’t the case against the Buccaneers, but the results were similar.
The Bears drop to 0-2 with Sunday’s loss and are staring down the barrel of a Week 3 game against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. It’s safe to assume Chicago will be a massive underdog in that one.
So, what now for the Bears? The season feels like it’s already come off the rails, and more questions than answers have arisen after two games.
Here are the five biggest takeaways from Week 2’s loss to the Buccaneers.
