Those errors were critical and potentially kept points off the board. During a critical red zone play, Mooney was supposed to run a corner route but thought he was supposed to stay in the formation and chip before releasing. Instead, he ran up the left hash because that's how the Bears ran that play last season under then-head coach Matt Nagy. On the much-discussed four verticals play where Fields failed to hit a wide-open Mooney down the seam, the receiver was supposed to bend his route to the right hash. Take the Bears' Week 4 loss to the New York Giants, for example. Star receiver Darnell Mooney has also had several instances where he ran either a wrong or imprecise route. The pass protection has been leaky, and the Bears' receivers have had issues creating consistent separation. Not all of the blame can be hung on quarterback Justin Fields, though. Chicago's offense ranks dead last in completions, completion percentage, passing yards, first downs, and quarterback rating. – The Bears' passing game has been a borderline disaster to start the 2022 NFL season.
