30. Chicago Bears 1-5 (29)

When considering how much the Chicago Bears have struggled this season, losing at home the way they did against the Jacksonville Jaguars has to hurt when considering they led for a majority of the game.

The Bears seemed to be on the way to their second victory of the season with a 16-7 lead halfway through the fourth quarter, but the defense allowed the Jaguars to score 10 points in the final minutes as Chicago ended up on the losing end 17-16. With the way things are playing out, wins are going to be rare for the Bears this season, and Sunday is going to be one of those games they look back on knowing they let one slip away.

With upcoming games against the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, it’s unlikely Chicago is going to see another win until the month of November, especially when looking at how overmatched they’re going to be in these contests. If the Bears think they’re going to have any shot against these NFC contenders with Brian Hoyer at quarterback, they’re going to be in for a big wakeup call.

On another note, the struggles continue at home for John Fox as the head coach has every reason in the world to be frustrated with his team heading into Week 7.
