​Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen’s defense will have to man up when rewatching the game film from the Chicago Bears’ 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The defense allowed Packers quarterback Jordan Love to complete 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards and two touchdowns. Green Bay’s vertical passing game completely destroyed Chicago’s defense. According to Next Gen Stats, Love completed six of eight deep passes (20+ air yards) for a career-high 258 yards and two touchdowns. Love also joined Ben Roethlisberger as the only player with five completion of 30+ air yards in a single game since ESPN started tracking the stat in 2006. With the Packers facing a third-and-22 after the Packers committed an offensive pass inference that negated a touchdown, Love still connected with wide receiver Christian Watson for a 53-yard touchdown. Watson finished the game with six receptions for 143 yards and two scores. “It’s one of those things where that’s their M.O., they do a nice job of being aggressive there on third and long, and you know Love, when he’s got a little bit of time, he’s got a lot of trust in those pass catchers, and so (WR Watson) had some space out there and we must have just taken a little bad angle there,” head coach Ben Johnson said. Allen’s defense allowed the fifth-most passing plays of 20 yards or more (60) last season. Through the first five games in 2026, the Bears’ defense is tied for the ninth-most in the league with 16 of those explosive plays given up.Christian Watson not surprised with how explosive #Packers offense was against Bears.“I got called crazy for thinking that we could exploit the defense and put up a lot of points against them, but we watched the film. We saw opportunities there.” pic.twitter.com/a99e2PxM35— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) October 11, 2026But there is also another alarming statistic that dates back to last year. The Bears’ defense has given up 68 points in their road games against the Carolina Panthers (37) and Packers (31). At Soldier Field, the Bears have allowed just 28 points. Johnathan Wood from Windy City Gridiron highlighted the drastically alarming difference in the Bears’ defense at Soldier Field and on the road. Last season, Chicago allowed 18.1 point per game (including the playoffs) at home, but gave up 29.7 PPG on the road. 🧵I’ve mentioned this before, but want to provide some stats to highlight just how important home/road splits have been to Chicago’s defense under Dennis Allen. Last year, they gave up 18.1 ppg at home (including playoffs) and 29.7 ppg on the road.— Johnathan Wood (@Johnathan_Wood1) October 6, 2026Here is a look at the Bears’ road games last seasonWeek 2 @ Detroit: L 52-21Week 4 @ Las Vegas: W 25-24Week 6 @ Washington: W 25-24Week 8 @ Baltimore: L 30-16Week 9 @ Cincinnati: W 47-42Week 11 @ Minnesota: W 19-17Week 13 @ Philadelphia: W 24-15Week 14 @ Green Bay: L 28-21Week 17 @ San Fransico: L 42-38Outside of the Week 11 and 13 games against t
