Three big-picture takeaways from the Bears’ “Sunday Night Football” game against the Chargers:
A good QB dominated them
It was clear from the get-go that Justin Herbert wasn’t Brian Hoyer. One week after the Bears defense beat up on the Raiders’ backup in a pinch-hitting role, they looked lost against the Chargers’ quarterback. In the first half alone, Herbert threw for three touchdowns and posted a 141.6 passer rating.
They’re not built to rally
Against the Raiders, Tyson Bagent running a methodical offense was exactly what the Bears needed — they were never in danger of blowing a lead the way they did against the Broncos. Sunday night, though, it was an impediment. Their 7:03 scoring drive in the second quarter came while they were down 17 points.
They’re still a RB committee
After missing two games because of a concussion, rookie Roschon Johnson shared carries with D’Onta Foreman. Darrynton Evans even scored on his first touch of the game, an 11-yard toss to the right. Despite Foreman’s solid turn in replacing Khalil Herbert and Johnson, who were both hurt during the Commanders game, he figures to share carries going forward.
