The Chicago Bears entered Sunday’s game at Lambeau Field favored against the Green Bay Packers for the first time in over 20 years, even without starting quarterback Caleb Williams. Instead, the Packers came out of this game looking like the Packers of old, and the Bears looked like the Bears of old.

Green Bay had looked like a shell of itself in recent weeks. And after all the back-and-forth between the two teams leading up to this game, the Packers were the ones who sent a statement. Chicago fell flat from the very first drive, and Green Bay rolled to a 31-7 win over its rival.

The short list of positives and the long list of concerns tell the story of this game. Here are the winners and losers from the Bears’ loss.

Loser: Tyson Bagent blows his opportunity as a starter

This was supposed to be Tyson Bagent’s chance. His first start against the New York Jets last week wasn’t the best showing. Aaron Glenn’s defense is a good unit, but Bagent had four turnover-worthy plays and didn’t look convicted on many of his throws. The Bears wanted to see him be more explosive in his second start on Sunday and gave him the green light to push the ball more downfield.

That never happened. The game plan leaned on short throws and small plays, and Bagent never looked comfortable. His passes consistently sailed high, and it seemed like he didn’t attempt a single deep shot. He finished 12-of-21 for 87 yards and two interceptions before head coach Ben Johnson finally pulled him for Case Keenum. That decision came too late, and Keenum didn’t fare much better.

Bagent had a real opportunity to prove he can be a legit starter in this league against a defense that has struggled lately. He didn’t live up to it and now is 0-3 on the road as a starter. Tough to sell that to other teams.

Loser: This might have been Ben Johnson’s worst game with the Bears

Johnson deserves his share of the blame. You talked all of that smack about the Packers and Matt LaFleur, you better back it up. The Bears turned the ball over five times and scored only seven points. Those five turnovers are the most by a Johnson-led offense in two years in Chicago.

All the talk about Johnson building a quarterback-proof offense with two backups disappeared Sunday. Nothing worked through the air, and the early deficit forced Chicago away from the run. It was an uncharacteristic game from one of the league’s top play callers. Frankly, no quarterback would have looked good in the game plan he had today.

Winner: Caleb Williams’ eventual return is imminent

If there is a silver lining, it’s Caleb Williams. He returned to practice on Friday and looked sharp during a 30-minute pregame warm-up on Sunday, throwing and moving well as he works back from his hamstring injury.

Williams is aiming to play in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons after missing the last three games. The Bears can’t risk a re-injury, but Sunday made it clear they need his ability to stretch the field sooner rather than later.

Loser: Jaylon Johnson is a liability out there

The secondary was atrocious all around, and Jaylon Johnson was at the center of it more often than not. This was easily his worst performance in what has already been a rough season. It started with running back Marshawn Lloyd running him over at the goal line for a touchdown when Johnson slowed up instead of attacking the tackle.

He also gave up a deep touchdown to Christian Watson in Cover 3 after being unable to carry the route vertically. Rookie safety Dillon Thieneman was in position on that play but couldn’t get his head turned around to break up the pass.

Quarterbacks used to avoid Johnson’s side of the field entirely during his prime. On Sunday, Jordan Love kept going his way over and over again with success. Chicago has no other option to turn to behind Johnson. They expected him to be better than this now that he’s healthy. It’s clear those days are behind him.

Loser: More injuries to the defense

Three defensive players left the game with notable injuries on Sunday. Linebacker TJ Edwards, who had played well the last two weeks, was ruled out early with a hamstring injury. Dayo Odeyingbo also went to the locker room with a quad injury, another blow to a defensive front that has been playing well.

Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson left with a hamstring injury as well after a downfield incompletion intended for Watson. He has been in and out of the lineup all season with hamstring issues, and even with his struggles, Chicago can’t afford to lose more depth in the secondary.

Help could be on the way. Linebacker Noah Sewell activated off the PUP list this week and Shemar Turner and possibly Kyler Gordon are expected back next week. Turner’s ability to play inside or outside matters even more if Odeyingbo misses time, while Gordon’s return would allow Malik Muhammad to kick outside.

Winner: Zavion Thomas made some good plays

This is how hard it was to find something positive. The rookie third-round pick Zavion Thomas finally made somewhat of an impact.

Thomas ripped off a 61-yard return that set up Keenum’s first drive, even though it ended in an interception. He also added an 11-yard jet sweep and an 11-yard reception late. Expect his role to keep growing as the season go on.

Loser: Roschon Johnson is certainly no Kyle Monangai

Given the early deficit the Bears faced, it was hard to lean into the run game in this one, which has been the Bears’ bread-and-butter. It was even harder without Kyle Monangai, who missed Sunday’s game with a turf toe injury.

In his place, Roschon Johnson managed five carries for six yards. Whenever he entered the game, the offense stalled. D’Andre Swift ran well early, but he only received nine carries.

If he misses another game, Johnson isn’t the answer as the RB2. Perhaps Zamir Scott, who elevated from the practice squad and unused in the run game, deserves more of a look.
