After dropping their first back-to-back defeats this season, Matt Nagy and the Chicago Bears seem to have more questions rather than answers at this point of their 2020 campaign.
Even if they're sitting on the second spot of the NFC North Division, Nagy's squad problems was front and center in their OT loss against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday when they allowed Drew Brees and the rest of their opponents to overcome a 13-3 deficit late in the opening half and grab their fifth win of the season.
Though the Bears had costly turnovers in overtime which eventually gave New Orleans the win, key errors before and after the half ruined Chicago's chances to grab the W.

We're reading it from a wrist band, so, you know, I'm struggling with that right now. It's getting you into a hole so that has to change.”
Up 10-3 with under two minutes left before the half, the Bears failed to convert from the 11-yard line and had to settle for a Cairo Santos field goal to go up 13-3. Just before the halftime buzzer sounded, Brees rallied his troops and connected with Jared Cook for his first TD pass of the evening.
The Saints continued to pounce on the Bears' sloppiness after the half, as they went on to score 20 unanswered points and had Chicago scrambling to tie the game before the end of regulation.
After two dropped passes and two interceptions in OT, Chicago ultimately bowed out of the contest 26-23 and suffered their second home loss of the season.
With key mistakes piling up early into the season, Nagy and the Bears should be thanking the football gods that they currently still have a winning record after eight matches.
