oof, I was just about to make a comment about how surprisingly good da Bears D was playing (shouldn't be all that surprising considering Simmons wreaking havoc), and then they decide to single cover JSN and poorly at that.
I can't understand why JSN is ever not doubled. He is the only WR Darnold completes passes to. Seriously, double him at the line. Play man everywhere else.
Coming into the game, the fighting chickenhawks had thrown for 1,726 yds. JSN accounted for 867 of them.
That is more than 50%.
Their dependance on one player is astounding.
The Bears still thought that playing man without a safety behind him was a good move. It's painful to watch that.
