The Chicago Bears lost to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night for their season and it wasn't pretty at all. Andy Dalton struggled, but Justin Fields did score a touchdown even though Bears head coach Matt Nagy kept running Dalton out there.
But, Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin wasn't thrilled about the game plan regarding Rams star Jalen Ramsey and put Nagy on blast.
Marquise Goodwin on the #Bears' approach against Jalen Ramsey:
"He's a unique player, All-Pro, Pro Bowler, instinctive, especially in short spaces. And us not running past 10 yards, that fell right into his hands I feel like."

The Bears struggled to throw the ball downfield, and that isn't really a shock considering Dalton's struggles against one of the best defenses in the NFL. Dalton went 27-38 for 206 yards and no scores with an interception.
Ramsey was all over that place, as he always is, and totaled seven tackles and a pass deflection. Now, to be fair, the Rams defensive front is a menace and Dalton didn't have a ton of time to throw, but still, poor game planning from the Bears and their insistence to not play Fields was mind-boggling–and still is.
The Bears will have it a bit easier with a matchup on Sunday against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, but it still looks like Dalton will be the starter, and that could make things tricky as far as Chicago is concerned.
