Chicago Bears officially eliminated from 2015-16 National Football League playoff contention
Diggs was one of seven players with a reception and one four players reached the end zone in the game.
On the season, the Chicago Bears average 232.2 yards in passing and 115.7 yards in rushing. The Bears need a stud next to rookie Adrian Amos to excel back there. The first coming against the Blaine Gabbert led 49ers, the second coming against the Kirk Cousin led Redskins. He has become the top threat for the Minnesota aerial attack and will continue doing so this week against the Bears. This is something that must be addressed.
Thoughts on the Bears’ loss to Minnesota on Sunday.
Three straight losses stink at any point of the season, but the Bears are not only playing with little confidence, they are also banged up. And Tom Johnson played well starting on the defensive line (three tackles, two for a loss, a sack). Miller finished with 57 yards on six catches, but much of that came on the final drive of the game in garbage time.
The game hit bottom for Cutler in the fourth quarter when he floated a screen pass to Matt Forte that fell short, allowing backup defensive end Justin Trattou to intercept it at the Chicago 16.
On offense, the offensive line needs to rebound from last week’s weak performance. They will pull off the upset and will improve to 6-8 on the season while dropping Minnesota to 8-6. On the ground, Forte has four carries for 23 yards through the first half of play.

Alshon Jeffery and Marquess Wilson have combined for 1,261 receiving yards and four touchdowns while Martellus Bennett has 53 receptions. It’s up to kicker Robbie Gould to finally capitalize on his opportunities after missing a game-tying field goal the last time. When these teams last met, Sherels had one of the easiest 65-yard returns for a touchdown the league has ever seen. After making his first 17 consecutive field goals, he has made just nine of his last 15. In any case, I think we are looking at the last days of the Chicago Bears’ leading scorer in franchise history. More than anything, Peterson might have shown his toughness in the game-leaving the game twice with injury (a shoulder and an ankle). Can they keep their super-slim playoff hopes alive? They would relish the chance to play spoiler against their division rival.
