Part 4/7:
Perhaps the most glaring concern was the performance of the Bears' interior offensive line. The unit, expected to provide stability and protection, failed to meet expectations. The acquisition of players like Drew Dom, Joe Tun, and Jonah Jackson was anticipated to bolster the line, but their struggles resulted in numerous penalties and missed blocks.
Veteran players such as Darnell Wright and Braxton Jones also faced criticism for their inconsistent play. The interior line's poor performance was central to the team's offensive struggles, limiting QB Caleb Williams' effectiveness and preventing sustained drives.
