What happened

Z.Branch muffing a punt at the ATL 10 and gifting Chicago a short field was the kind of play that reframes an entire afternoon, and C.Williams carving up the secondary to R.Odunze and C.Loveland did the rest before Atlanta ever found a pulse. The M.Penix-to-J.Dotson touchdown and the D.London deep ball felt like answers, but arrived with the game already decided. Nine carries for the lead back in a one-score loss is the number that will linger.

    Me either. You can tell the chicago bears crowd is getting to Penix. It sounds like a road game and they’re having to silent count…and it’s adding to the problems for sure. Falcons fans aren’t even loud when the bears have the ball.
