Loser – Joe Burrow

Look, I know it’s hard to do much when the offensive line in front of you isn’t offering much protection but Joe Burrow did not have a good day on Sunday. The worst part of the day came on three straight passes that led to interceptions, which is something that simply can’t happen for this team.

Burrow’s final stats were 19-of-30 for 207 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions while getting sacked four times. Were it not for the touchdowns he threw in the fourth quarter, this would have been one of Burrow’s worst starts ever.

Loser – Eli Apple

Well, not all of the defensive additions can be winners and Eli Apple is proof of that. Apple had a really bad game last week against the Vikings and didn’t look much better when tasked with stopping the Bears offense.

Apple was called with pass interference that allowed the Bears to continue their opening drive that ultimately ended with a Chicago touchdown. He got beat on two other notable plays as well and it just hasn’t been a good start for the journeyman cornerback.

We need you, Trae Waynes.
