Second place is 1st loser

Before the first Caleb Int, the Bears were like second and goal from the 4, but got the 15 yard personal foul penalty. Without the penalty there wouldn't have been the first Int. Plus there would have been points from the drive.
The penalty changed the game.

Keep your heads men!

THANK YOU! I've been telling those around me that play changes the dynamic. There are 12 different ways to score from the 4 yards line. If they get the TD, it's 21-3, no pick and game over. That said, there is absolutely no excuse for Caleb to throw that ball, but the situation is totally different without the penalty. Not one talking head has touched on it.

Poor Zavion Thomas should have had a breakout night last night, but that penalty and the callback of his return TD spoiled it.

Good to see Antwaan Randle-El coaching him up on the sidelines afterward.

With Luther Burden now concussed, we're running out of skill position guys here, Thomas will need to contribute.

During Ben's presser, he mentioned that Zavion did not play anymore on offense after that penalty.

Yep. This team has the POTENTIAL (assuming health & Monangai returning) but I can guarantee if they pull stunts like dumb penalties & careless turnovers it will all go for naught. You aren't going to win high leverage games with careless mistakes.

Bears’ postgame radio harped on exactly that. I was out walking the dogs so I didn’t catch who said it.

I hope Luther Burden is ok and good to go after bye. I am glad Johnson handled it properly and is calling out refs and league. I was surprised Bain wasn't penalized at the time but didnt realize Burden was concussed.
