The Chicago Bears thumped the New England Patriots on to close Week 7, and that was only one odd moment in a night loaded with them. The Bears dominated the first quarter, but at one point in the second quarter, the Patriots looked ready to run away with things in an unexpected fashion.
Mac Jones made his return from a high ankle sprain, but struggled mightily in his return. He completed three of his first six passes for only 13 yards, and was benched after an interception. The pick took some amazing athleticism by Jaquan Brisker, but it was still enough for Bill Belichick to replace Jones with Bailey Zappe.
It didn't take long for Zappe to make an impact. After the Patriots defense forced a three-and-out, Zappe completed three passes for 54 yards, including a 20-yarder to Rhamondre Stevenson and then a 30-yarder to Jakobi Meyers for a touchdown.
