What happened: The Chicago Bears flashed high-level execution and functional control on the field. Those positive stretches were tempered by multiple self-inflicted mistakes.

Why it matters: Finding consistency is the immediate hurdle for a roster showing genuine potential when operating cleanly. The offense is working to establish a reliable rhythm with Tyson Bagent expected to start at quarterback.

What to watch: Chicago must clean up the unforced errors to maintain its functional rhythm.
