Bears’ offense struggles in opening loss to Packers

CHICAGO (AP) — Errant passes. Shaky blocking. Questionable play-calling.

It sure looked as if Mitchell Trubisky and company could have used more preseason work.

Trubisky and the Chicago Bears were shut down by the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night, losing 10-3 in an ugly NFL opener that showered cold water on any championship dreams in the Windy City.

Khalil Mack and Chicago’s fierce defense showed up, sacking Aaron Rodgers five times and limiting the Packers to 213 yards.

But the Bears’ offense looked inept all night long, hurting itself with repeated mistakes.

There was no sign of any improvement for Trubisky in his second year under coach Matt Nagy. He missed several throws and finished 26 for 45 for 228 yards.

Chicago had just 46 yards on the ground after trading leading rusher Jordan Howard to Philadelphia in March.
