Part of the reason they were tired is they give up a lot of 3rd down conversions. They had the Titans backed up to 2nd and 24 early in the game and the Titans ended up getting a 1st down.

The offense is bad...but the defense definitely isn't championship caliber either.

The defense is not what ails us buddy ! Our they championship caliber ? There's no way we can find out under these circumstances.

We're dead last in the NFL in rushing, 70 yards per game ! That's an epically bad number   We're dead last in the NFL in total offense at 270 yards per game ! The winless Browns are 23rd in total offense at 313 yards per game ! Eye opener huh ?

We're 31st in the NFL in time of possession at 26:52, over the last 3 games we're averaging 22:08. Again epically bad !

Has the defense been a lights out 85 Bears unit ? Hell no ! They've had their struggles but under the circumstances you can't hate on the D. They're playing a game and a half every game, that wears on you.
