People were stunned when the Chicago Bears beat Pittsburgh on Sunday. Everything about the game said it shouldn't have happened. The Steelers had the better quarterback and the more talented offense. They were 2-0 and coming off a trip to the AFC championship. The Bears had a statue with erratic accuracy at quarterback and a banged up roster around him. Seriously, this should've been a blowout.
Instead Chicago once again proved a puzzling riddle the Steelers couldn't solve as they dropped to 1-13 lifetime in their road visits there. Thanks to a strong defensive effort and the dual brilliance of running backs Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen, the Bears ground out a 23-17 overtime victory.
By now the reaction by Chicago fans is well-known. A mixture of euphoric surprise and a bittersweet aftertaste. Why? They now know this team is better than last year but is being held back by its quarterback. Imagine what the score would've been had they not had just 101 passing yards.
It seems Steelers fans recognized this liability too, and one guy took to YouTube to vent his frustration. Don't worry. Plenty of four-letter word get used.
