I saw that clearly and mentioned it in a post after the game. It was like the D was just going through the motions mailing it in. What's up with that?

‘A brain fart’ and lack of energy are 2 of the explanations as Sean Desai tries to clean up the Chicago Bears defense’s Week 1 mess
Desai said he counted two or three major coverage busts — not counting defenders simply getting beat one-on-one — and graded eight plays with a total of 12 missed tackles.
One obvious play that needed to be addressed was the 67-yard touchdown on the Rams’ third offensive play. It started with a coverage breakdown and ended when safeties Eddie Jackson and Tashaun Gipson failed to tag wide receiver Van Jefferson when he was down, allowing him to jump back up and race the final 12 yards into the end zone.
“Too much football IQ between the two of us to let a play like that happen,” Gipson said. “It’s one of those things that will keep you up at night. … That’s tough, something as simple as touching a guy down. They teach you that in little league.
When Ogletree was asked how players can avoid such errors moving forward, he simply said, “Be smarter.” He also said having better energy would help.
“I felt like we just didn’t have the right energy out there on the field,” Ogletree said. “I’m not saying we played, like, terribly bad or guys were lackadaisical or anything like that. But we make a play and just didn’t seem very energized.”
