    The Bears are operating with a broken offense, and they don't seem to know how to fix it.

    That much was evident Thanksgiving when 51 pass plays and 8 run plays passed for offensive balance. The 13 yards the Bears managed on the ground (1.6-yard average) tied their lowest output since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, according to ESPN.

    But it's more than just an imbalance in play-calling.

    In five of their 12 games, the Bears had fewer than 270 yards in total offense in a league where the average is 355. There are breakdowns on multiple levels. The Bears have yet to score more than 28 points in any game this season after scoring 30 or more six times last year with essentially the same personnel.

    Those aren't the kind of numbers anyone expected from the unit that was supposed to carry the team.
