This was a boring game. And I say that having the benefit of watching only the 40-minute edited version. I can only imagine how boring it would have been in real time.
- Darrell Henderson went 14-64-0 and 2-2-13 as a receiver. Malcolm Brown (10-57-1) saw roughly as much work and got the goal line carry. Henderson is quicker, more explosive and more of a slasher. Brown is a power runner, and he looked good moving the pile and breaking tackles. Cam Akers had one carry that was negated due to a penalty.
- Jared Goff didn't do much, and he spread the ball around enough that neither did his receivers -- and that was with Tyler Higbee missing the game due to a hand injury.
- Granted the Bears defense is good, but the Rams offense is unlikely to generate a player that should have been taken in the top three rounds. Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods look like fourth-round pars at best.
- Johnny Hekker sure is a good punter.
- The Bears offense is a complete wasteland, and their only useful player, Allen Robinson, (4-4-70) got banged up late in the game.
- David Montgomery (14-48-0, 5-5-21) got his typical workload, and his longest play was for 11 yards. He breaks some tackles, but he's not quick enough to avoid them in the first place.
- It's amazing the Bears are 5-2, and there's a credible case to be made for bringing back Mitchell Trubisky.
