Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the Bears offense, it did in the first half of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Bears finished the first 30 minutes with just nine yards -- total -- against an Eagles defense that was considered vulnerable entering the week. It was their fewest yards in one half in 40 years, per Elias Sports Bureau.
Mitch Trubsky completed 6-of-13 passes for 24 yards. His best play came on a seven-yard scramble that ended in a personal foul penalty and a first down (one of just two the offense has managed to muster so far).

Barring a miraculous turnaround in the second half, the calls for backup quarterback Chase Daniel will hit a season-high this week. The Bears need a spark on offense (or a blowtorch at this point), and that often comes by making a change under center.
Surprisingly, Chicago trails the Eagles by just 12 points (12-0) after 30 minutes.
