Following their Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Chicago Bears are left with a dismal 0-3 win-loss record. They lost to the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bears suffered an overall of 65-37 in the three games played this season.
It is no wonder why Justin Fields is feeling the edge this season. His quarterback rating is among one of the worst in the NFL at 70.7. He secured only two touchdowns and three picks and was sacked ten times.
