LONDON (AP) — The problem for the Chicago Bears was more about their play in the trenches than when they arrived in London.A Bears team known for its dominant defensive front was overwhelmed by the Oakland Raiders rushing game and Chicago was unable to generate anything on the ground at all. That added up to a 24-21 loss Sunday night that sent the Bears home from their short stay across the pond searching for consistency.The game couldn’t have started much worse for the Bears (3-2) Bo Jackson Jersey White , who were held to 44 yards behind backup quarterback Chase Daniel in the first half by a Raiders (3-2) defense that had struggled ever since trading Khalil Mack to Chicago. The vaunted Chicago defense didn’t do much either and the Bears trailed 17-0 at the break.That raised questions about whether arriving on Friday — four days after the Raiders got to town — was a bad move by coach Matt Nagy.“Had nothing to do with when we came here and when we didn’t,” Nagy said. “It’s about playing football.”The Bears played good football for a little more than a quarter. They pounced on Oakland in the third quarter, turning a botched pitch into a fumble recovery by Mack and a 14-yard TD drive capped by a 1-yard run by rookie David Montgomery that got them back into the game.Chicago didn’t stop there, driving 89 yards after forcing a punt to cut the deficit to 17-14 on Daniel’s first of two TD passes to Allen Robinson.Those two struck again from 16 yards the first play following Tarik Cohen’s 71-yard punt return and Chicago turned that big halftime deficit into a 21-17 lead in a span of 13:34.“When we went in at halftime there was no panic,” Daniel said. “There was cool, calm, let’s go make a play, and the whole thing was one-play-at-a-time mentality, and I thought we really did that for the most part.”That appeared to be enough to send the Bears home happy after Sherrick McManis punched the ball loose from Trevor Davis at the goal line, leading to a recovery by Prince Amukamara at the 1-yard line. A toe-tapping catch by Robinson and a disputed roughing the passer penalty on Maurice Hurst allowed the Bears to move into Oakland territory before stalling again thanks in part to the lack of a running game and poor play from Daniel.Chicago gained just 42 yards on 17 carries https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey , while Daniel threw two interceptions and took four sacks on the day.But that wouldn’t have mattered if a usually dominant defense hadn’t wilted at the end. Oakland took over at its 3 with 7:49 to go and marched 97 yards for the go-ahead score. The drive was extended when Kevin Pierre-Louis was called for running into the kicker on fourth-and-6 from the Oakland 22.The Raiders called a fake on the next play and Erik Harris gained 3 yards even though the Bears were ready for it.“You’ve still got to stop it,” Nagy said. “We knew that it could certainly come. You’ve got to stop it.”The Bears then allowed two long passes to rookie tight end Foster Moreau as the defense failed to generate any pressure and Josh Jacobs leaped in from the 2 for the go-ahead score with 1:57 to play.Daniel completed three passes to get Chicago into Oakland territory before an errant throw was intercepted by Gareon Conley, sealing the defeat for the Bears.“I just think we didn’t play well, bottom line,” Daniel said. “All this stuff, at the end of the day your job is to go out and play football games and top to bottom today we didn’t do it. Antonio Brown's winding summer odyssey has officially landed him as a member of the New England Patriots.But just how the sometimes disgruntled receiver will fit into the Super Bowl champions' culture has become the Patriots' biggest focal point in the aftermath of their 33-3 drubbing of the four-time All-Pro's former team on Sunday night.Brown's signing was announced by the Patriots late in the afternoon on Monday.According to Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the receiver signed a one-year deal, which will guarantee him $9 million this season and the potential to earn as much as $15 million.It's far short of the money Brown lost following his short tenure with the Oakland Raiders , that ended with the team voiding more than $29 million guaranteed money and releasing him.But it opened the door for Patriots coach Bill Belichick to swoop in and take a chance on a talented player that could help take a receiving groups surrounded by questions in the preseason to one of the most formidable in the NFL.Brown was not present in the locker room during the period open to reporters on Monday. Of the players that did talk Derek Carr Jersey White , few were willing to talk about their new teammate."Friendly guy," offensive lineman Joe Thuney said. "That's all I know."It's the latest gamble by Belichick, who has previously brought in castoffs such as Randy Moss and Corey Dillon to mixed results. Moss gave New England three straight seasons of 1,000 receiving yards and 47 receiving touchdowns from 2007 to 2009 in his Hall of Fame career. Dillion ran for 1,635 yards in the 2004 season to help New England win its third Super Bowl in a four-season span.Without Brown, the Patriots looked every bit like a team primed to make a run at another Lombardi Trophy in dismantling the Steelers.At age 42, Tom Brady continued to defy his age with a 341-yard, three-touchdown game, spreading the ball around to seven players. It ended preseason questions about who Brady would throw to following the retirement of tight end Rob Gronkowski and with only reigning Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman to lead a young group of receivers.With Brown, the 11-time defending AFC East champs have two of the most athletic receivers in the league. They recently got back Josh Gordon following his reinstatement for violations of the league's substance abuse policy.Together Antonio Brown Raiders Jersey , Brown and Gordon give Brady proven deep threats to go along with the sure-handed Edelman in the slot.That is, if Brown can avoid the pitfalls that caused him to fall out of favor with each of his two previous teams."I think people understand when you come here you can't really make mistakes or do things that can be distractions for the team," Patriots running back Rex Burkhead said. "You gotta lock in, buy in and understand it's a team atmosphere and there's goals ahead."WHAT'S WORKINGThe run defense. Linebackers Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins and John Simon limited the Steelers, leaving them one-dimensional for most of the game. For the game Pittsburgh managed just 2.5 yards per rush.WHAT NEEDS HELPThe Patriots went 0 for 3 in the red zone against Pittsburgh. It's something the offense will need to improve upon as the season progresses. But it will be moot if Brady and the offense keep having games in which each of their touchdowns come from 20 or more yards.STOCK UPReceiver Phillip Dorsett has acknowledged that it took time for him to feel completely comfortable in the Patriots offense after he was traded from Indianapolis in 2017.He appears to have found his groove. Dorsett had four catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns — including a 58-yard TD reception against the Steelers. It was the first multi-score game of his career.STOCK DOWNTed Karras may need a few games to get used to his new role at starting center with David Andrews on injured reserve with blood clots in his lung. Belichick said Karras showed some inconsistencies getting the ball to Brady with enough velocity in shotgun formations.INJUREDRight tackle Marcus Cannon left the game late in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury. If he misses time, Thuney could slide over from left guard to right tackle.KEY NUMBER40-0. That is the Patriots' record at home against AFC teams with Brady and Edelman in the starting lineup together.NEXT STEPSAssuming Brown gets up to speed on the playbook enough to be in the lineup for Sunday's visit to Miami, it would mean somebody would have to sacrifice playing time. Possible candidates include rookie Jakobi Meyers and Dorsett.
