Chicago Bears head coach John Fox said the team will evaluate everything, including their starting quarterback spot, after dropping to 1-3 following a 35-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers Thursday at Lambeau Field. Fox made the pronouncement, per NFL.com, after starting signal-caller Mike Glennon committed four turnovers -- including two interceptions, a sack-fumble, and a failed snap fumble -- that contributed to their latest loss.
"We need to make a lot of changes," said Fox, adding that the team will have a lot of work to do before their showdown against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct.
9. “We're going to look at everything,” he added. If Fox will make a quarterback change, he has 11 days to prepare rookie Mitchell Trubisky, the Bears’ No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Bears opted to start Glennon over Trubisky due to his five-year stint in the NFL
However, things didn’t go as well as planned as Glennon tallied eight turnovers in his first four starts. Glennon is tied with Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback for most in the NFL entering Sunday. Fox clarified that the quarterback spot is not the only issue hounding the Bears. However, there is no more glaring than the position currently being held by Glennon, whom they signed to a three-year, $45-million deal to become their starter.
In the preseason, Trubisky played four games, completing 36 of 53 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
