PHILADELPHIA (AP)Facing the NFL’s top team Dick Butkus Color Rush Jersey , the Chicago Bears knew they had to be perfect to have a chance. They won the turnover battle and nothing else. The Bears didn’t manage a first down in the first half, managed only 6 yards rushing, 140 total yards on offense and were dominated in a 31-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. So much for that 3-2 edge in turnovers. ”That’s a good football team that’s had similar scores to what we experienced,” coach John Fox said. ”We didn’t play well enough to compete.” Rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, making his seventh start, was overwhelmed by Philadelphia’s ferocious defense. He was 17 of 33 for 147 yards, threw two interceptions and was sacked twice. ”That falls on all of us,” Bears right guard Kyle Long said. ”We need to do a better job of keeping him upright and giving him more time to throw.” Jordan Howard, who entered leading the NFC with 841 yards rushing, was held to 6 yards on seven carries. The Bears were at negative yards rushing until Trubisky scrambled for a big gain late in the fourth quarter. The Bears got their first break in the first quarter right after Trubisky threw an interception to Malcolm Jenkins William Perry Jersey , but Dion Sims stripped the ball and recovered at midfield. They went three-and-out. Chicago’s next possession started after LeGarrette Blount fumbled following a 35-yard run. Eddie Goldman recovered at Philadelphia’s 42, but the drive went nowhere and Cairo Santos fell way short on a 54-yard field goal try. Following a 17-3 win over Carolina on Oct. 22, the Bears were 3-4 and seemed to be in the mix. They already had an impressive overtime win over the Steelers in Week 3, lost by a field goal to Minnesota in Week 5 and beat the Ravens in overtime on Oct. 15. They stayed close in their previous three losses to the Saints (20-12), Packers (23-16) and Lions (27-24). But they were thoroughly outplayed by a superior team in Philly. ”We needed to play really, really well in all three phases to beat that team,” Fox said. Fox is 12-31 in three seasons with the Bears and faces questions about his future on a weekly basis. ”You don’t come into this job, whether it’s as a player or coach, with questions about your job security,” Fox said. ”That’s not why I do this. Whatever happens to the things I control https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Mike-Ditka-Jersey , I’ll work to control, and that’s to get our football team better.” Fox has support from his players. ”I would love to have Foxy back for many years,” Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks said. ”He’s one of my favorite head coaches I have ever had. The way he handles the team and the way he carries himself, whether you as player are having an up or down day, whether it’s in practice or a game, he’s the first one there to tell you why you are there and why they want you there. He motivates you properly and works you hard” — Free agent safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had multiple motivations for signing a one-year deal with the Bears last week.But mostly, he thinks he’s doing something other players have to wait years for.“You see so many guys get to the end of their successful careers and now they’re trying to chase a ring,” Clinton-Dix said, via Dan Wiederer of the . “I have the opportunity to do that in my prime. Like I said, if you ask me Richard Dent Color Rush Jersey , Chicago was an Eddie Jackson (playoff appearance) away from winning a Super Bowl last year. So if there was any way I could come on to this team and contribute and make plays and get my name back out there, I’m excited about that.”Clinton-Dix was referring to Jackson’s ankle injury, which kept him from playing against the Eagles in the Wild Card round loss.He’ll now join his former Alabama teammate in what should again be a formidable defense, replacing departed free agent Adrian Amos (who completed the circle of life by going to Green Bay, where Clinton-Dix began his career before being traded to Washington in midseason).“I don’t know,” he said of the reasons for his departure. “I did everything right. And I did what I was asked to do. I think they were just looking for change. My time was up. I watched so many guys come in and do all the right things, and things just didn’t work out in Green Bay. So that’s what I had on my shoulders going into year five there. I had to treat every game like it was an interview. And I did just that.”Clinton-Dix also knows that signing a one-year deal with a good team gives him a chance to establish himself for his next deal, which coupled with the success he’s expecting, could make him an attractive free agent target next year.
