LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Brian Urlacher isn’t quite sure how to explain the Bears’ second-half breakdowns this season. But the All-Pro middle linebacker knows that they must stop.
In their three losses this season, the Bears have permitted six points in the first half and 79 points in the second half, including 65 in back-to-back defeats to the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions.
“I wish we knew what it was so we could fix it,” Urlacher said. “But it’s just nothing the coaches can do. It’s on us players. We’ve got to make plays when we get a chance to do it. That’s what it all comes down to. We’re not tired; we’re not out of shape. People want to speculate on what it is and what it isn’t. We’ve just got to make plays.”
Last Sunday in Detroit, the Bears gave up touchdown drives of 70, 80 and 62 yards after permitting just 97 total yards in the first half. It was a similar story a week earlier when Dallas snapped a 10-10 tie with 24 unanswered points, scoring on TD drives of 89, 91 and 78 yards.
“We haven’t been getting it done,” said linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer. “Even last week, that was our emphasis all week in practice, making sure we finished and making sure we played a good second half. [But] we just didn’t do it.”
The Bears are trying to replicate their Week 2 performance against the Chiefs when they generated two turnovers and three sacks on Kansas City’s final three possessions in preserving a 20-10 win.
“We just need to strive to do that,” said defensive coordinator Bob Babich. “We’re trying to figure out what we need to do. The only thing we know to do is go back to the basics and make sure our fundamentals and mental framework is where it needs to be and just go from there.”

Yes, you are. Maybe you wouldn't be so tired if your offense ran the ball a little more.

You are completely right, if you are out there the whole game you will get tired. The way to fix that keep the ball on offense.
