28. Chicago Bears

When will the Chicago Bears ever be good? Probably when they finally cut ties with Jay Cutler.

Chicago was shutout in the second half of Sundays game in Houston, and will have a tall task next week during Monday Night Football when Carson Wentz comes to town.

The Bears offensive line was horrendous, allowing Cutler to be sacked five times. Bobby Massie and Charles Leno received two of Pro Football Focus’s lowest grades among offensive tackles Sunday. Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus were all over the top tackles from start to finish.

Jay Cutler also fumbled twice between all of the pressure, although he was lucky enough to recover both of them.

Houston forced Chicago to punt seven times, truly showing how inefficient the Bears offense is despite having Kevin White, Alshon Jeffery, and Jeremy Langford. White was the Bears first round pick last season, but never took the field because of a stress fracture in his shin.

Langford finished the game averaging just 3.4 yards per carry. Pro Football Focus rated him the 32nd best running back of the day at the conclusion of Sundays games.

In case you needed more proof as to how inefficient the Bears offense is they failed to even attempt a field goal.

Head coach John Fox made the Bears performance even worse with a bad challenge on a Will Fuller catch. The all mighty Twitter-verse made sure to call him out for it.

Seats are about to warm up in Chicago, which is rare this time of year.
