There is no rock bottom for the Chicago Bears. There is only a pit of despair that is never-ending. The Bears suffered perhaps their worst loss in franchise history when they blew a 21-point lead to the Denver Broncos, losing 31-28 to remain winless at 0-4.

This game was all Bears for the first three quarters. Chicago was up 28-7 with just over four minutes left in the third quarter, but allowed the Broncos back in the game with soft defense, costly turnovers, and a coaching decision that deserves to be enshrined in the Hall of Shame. On 4th and short just outside of the red zone with the game tied, the Bears opted to go for the kill instead of taking the field goal and burned a timeout in the process. They were stopped short, and Denver responded with a field goal to take the lead. Justin Fields’ lone interception of the game on the final drive sealed the game.

All of this happened despite Fields throwing four touchdowns, three of which came in the first half. But what should have been an easy win is now a crushing loss that has fans wondering how head coach Matt Eberflus keeps his job going forward.

Here is what Bears fans are saying on social media following the loss.
