Chicago Bears: 3 Big takeaways from loss vs. Miami Dolphins in Week 6

The offense had another good game, despite the loss

Yes, the Chicago Bears lost the game. They didn’t do enough to come out with a victory. The defense couldn’t stop the Dolphins and the Bears failed to make a game-winning field goal. There were positives, however.

The offense continued to have success. Okay, the unit struggled in the first half, but it got straightened out in the second half. After putting up 48 points in their last game, they put up 28 in this one which is pretty impressive.

In that first half, Trubisky looked like he’d revert back to the struggling second-year quarterback we’ve seen. He looked timid and a little overwhelmed. He missed some easy passes. He got sacked twice but he had plenty of time to find receivers for most of the game. He overthrew receivers on the deep ball and took too long to make a decision on some plays.

He had a run of eight yards, but he waited too long to decide to run. Had he tucked and run sooner, he would’ve had a 15-yard run.

For the game, Trubisky finished 22-of-31 for 316 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also had a critical interception in the end zone after a touchdown on the previous play was wiped out by a penalty. He also ran for 47 yards.

We still have to see a complete game from Trubisky, however. Even in the blowout in Week 4, his ridiculous play in the first half prevented him from having to do much in the second half.

Despite the loss, the offense is still advancing. It’s a pretty good sign when a quarterback gets back-to-back 300-yards+ games with 9 touchdowns and leads his offense to 950 yards and 76 points in those games and we still consider the offense to still not being a finished product. This offense has a chance to be as scary as its defense.
