Concerns about the Chicago Bears' offense grew exponentially after the first half of Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.

After 30 minutes of football, the Bears were held to nine total yards, including one through the air and eight on the ground. Seven of those yards came on a scramble by quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in the last minute of the half.

The Bears failed to convert a first down in nine minutes with the football. They also committed eight penalties, losing 56 yards.

The oft-criticized Trubisky was 6-for-13 passing for 24 yards but took three sacks to lose 23 yards.

Entering the game, the Bears, losers of three straight, were ranked 29th in total offense and 29th in passing offense.
