The two main talking points were:1) Fields is playing so well that they might keep him.2) The Bears defense has become elite.Neither of those things were really accurate. Fields had simply gone from unplayable to merely below average and was playing way below Love's level.Their defense has certainly improved since adding Sweat, but not remotely to an elite level. Their previous two good outings against the Falcons and Cardinals were merely instances of allowing a team to score their average. The last time this defense had gone on the road against a good offense prior to yesterday was @DET on 11/19, and they gave up 31 points.I just wish that the Packers hadn't left points on the field so that the final would reflect what a beat down this really was. 17-9 in the books, but more like a 30-6 type of game, especially when you consider how much water the refs carried for the Bears.GB: 432 yardsCHI: 192GB: 7.2 yards/playCHI: 4.2GB: 24 1st DownsCHI: 13GB: 70% on 3rd DownCHI: 27%GB: 5 sacksCHI: 1</blockquote>
