MNF: Chicago Snaps 3-Game Skid With 23 Unanswered Against New England (33-14)

Monday Night Football in New England brought the Patriots and Bears together for a clash of teams heading in different directions. The Patriots were riding a three-game win streak while the Bears were on a three-game slide, but it was all Chicago on Monday Night with the exception of about six minutes in the second quarter. New England scored 14 points in less than six minutes when QB Bailey Zappe was re-inserted into the offense after Mac Jones struggled. The Pats flipped a 10-0 deficit to a 14-10 lead in just 11 plays — touchdown, interception, touchdown — where Zappe re-energized Gillette Stadium. That was all the juice he had, though. Chicago forced four turnovers with their stout defense while QB Justin Fields carried the offense to a runaway on the scoreboard. Chicago snapped a losing streak, and New England is now last in the AFC East.

 

Fun Fact: The last time the Patriots finished last in the division was 2000.

 

QB Justin Fields (Bears)

Passing: 13/21, 179 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
