6. Matt Ryan didn't help at all in that fourth quarter

In the first 3 quarters the Falcons defense was pretty darn effective and/or Trubisky's Bears were pretty bad. Matt Ryan and the defense were both bad in the 4th quarter.

Putting in Foles turned the game around for the Bears. He threw 5 touchdown passes (2 called back after review). The one ruled an interception was more or less up for grabs, but the other was a flat-out drop by Anthony Miller.

Change a few crazy plays, and the records of these two teams could easily be revered.

By the way, I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and a Bears fan since I got interested in watching sports during the 1970's.
