Another week, another poor showing by the Bears’ offense. For the second week in a row in our Madden ’20 simulation, the Bears managed only 10 points on offense. They got off to a decent start, capping off their first drive of the game with a Mitchell Trubisky rushing touchdown. However, that was their only visit to the end zone all game. They attempted 3 field goals, but Eddy Pineiro only was able to hit one of them.
The Rams’ offense fared only slightly better. Jared Goff completed 21-of-27 passes for 147 yards and 1 TD through the air, and Todd Gurley and the Los Angeles run game was only able to account for 46 yards on the ground.
The difference in this game came down to special teams. The Bears had a punt and field goal blocked, both of which were returned for crucial touchdowns by the Rams. To add insult to injury, Aaron Donald sacked Trubisky in the end zone on the Bears’ final possession for a safety, capping off a 32-10 win for Los Angeles.
