Doug Kramer: Not reporting as eligible unacceptable, 100 percent on me

Chicago: The Bears are really having a tough time lately, and it’s not just about losing games. They’ve got this eight-game losing streak going on, and it seems like mental errors are piling up. Just the other night in Minnesota, they added another blunder to the list.

So, here’s the deal: Doug Kramer, an offensive lineman, forgot to report as eligible when he jumped in as a fullback. Because of that, a touchdown run by D’Andre Swift got wiped off the board. Instead of a touchdown, the Bears had to settle for a field goal, and the Vikings ended up winning 30-12.

After the game, Kramer owned up to it, saying it was “100 percent on me.” He explained that he just forgot to report, ran onto the field, and got caught up in the moment. He felt it was an unacceptable mistake and apologized to his teammates. It’s clear he knows how crucial these little things can be.

The Bears have had their share of wild moments this season, like Hail Marys and blocked field goals at the worst times. With all that chaos, it’s tough to see how they can turn things around. The next head coach is really going to have to step in and fix these issues if they want a brighter future in Chicago.
