Bears' set an NFL record during their losing streak

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Once again, the Bears are dealing with a record streak after another defeat this past weekend. This time it has something to do with what they're surrendering on a game-by-game basis to their opponents, which has been a struggle for almost a year.On Sunday, the Bucs scored 27 points on the Bears - 20 on offense and seven on defense - to beat the visitors by ten at Raymond James Stadium.

Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay was the second-lowest point total the team has given up in that stretch as they also allowed 27 to the Falcons in a Week 11 loss in Atlanta last...
