The Chicago Bears are an even 3-3 on the season after most recently coming up short against the surging New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. With the Bears falling at home by the score of 36-25, Chicago continues to dwell in the cellar of the incredibly competitive NFC North division.
However, what quickly became a headline in the “Windy City” despite the lopsided affair at Soldier Field, what how Bears running back Tarik Cohen was treated by both the Saints and the team's head coach Sean Payton. Though Cohen definitely chose an odd time to celebrate a short gain, the Bears offensively Swiss Army knife received quite the feedback from the Saints players and Payton.

Cohen served as one of the team's most utilized weapons in the loss, which has become commonplace for the Bears under the direction of second-year head coach Matt Nagy. On Sunday afternoon against the Saints, Cohen tallied nine receptions for a mere 19 yards with his longest reception of the day coming in at nine yards. Adding three carries for 10 rushing yards, Cohen's longest rush of the outing was also just nine yards.
The Bears may have some bigger problems than Cohen getting taunted, though, as Chicago quarterback Mitchell Trubisky encountered a forgettable game after returning from injury on Sunday. Trubisky finished the loss 34-of-54 for 251 yards and a touchdown, which seems like a solid game. However, the majority of that production came in garbage time on the team's final two possessions with the game already well out of reach.
