The Bears got out of San Francisco trying to figure out how they gave up so many big plays and why their energy didn't translate to execution.
When former Bears wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad was in Carolina and the Panthers suffered a 52-9 loss to close the year against the Raiders, he pointed to his own 100-catch season achieved that day and said: "Amid all the ashes and rubble, a flower bloomed today."
"Offensively, here's where our issues were: The start of the game, before the game, I have to do a better job of trying to find some sequence to put us in to stay on the grass and be effective in that regard," Brown said. "That's got to be able to change. The other thing they need to do is scheme up ways to get bigger chunks of yardage. The Bears are now last in the NFL in offense. They had no runs longer than a 9-yard scramble by Caleb Williams on Sunday and no pass completions longer than 17 yards. San Francisco had 10 plays longer than the longest Bears play.
