The Chicago Bears' week has gone from bad to worse.
After quarterback Justin Fields' coaching comments dominated headlines and defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned, the Bears were dealt another blow – hundreds of thousands dollars worth of equipment was stolen from the team facility.
A manager at Soldier Field, home to the (0-2) Bears, told ABC 7 that over $100,000 of equipment was stolen from a parking structure in the stadium Wednesday night ahead of the Bears' Week 3 road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) at Arrowhead Stadium. The stolen equipment reportedly includes lawn mowers and Gator Utility Vehicles, which were driven off the property through a security fence that the thieves tore down.
Chicago, which is one of nine 0-2 teams entering Week 3, has not got off to a good start this season. The Bears rank near the bottom of the NFL in total offense and passing offense through two weeks. Fields’ interceptions (3) and times sacked (10) are both tied for second most in the league.
Fields commented on his poor performance on Wednesday, attributing it to "robotic" play and possibly overcoaching, which Fields promptly walked back after his remarks made headlines.

"I'm not blaming anything on the coaches. I'm never going to blame anything on the coaches. I'm never going to blame anything on my teammates. Whatever happens in a game, I will take all the blame," Fields said. "I don't care. If it's a dropped pass, it should have been a pass, put it on me. Whenever you hear anything come out of my mouth to where I would blame it on somebody else in this organization, my teammates, never will you hear that. I just want to clear that up. Just know I need to play better. That's it. Point blank. That's what I should've said in the first place."
Meanwhile, Williams promptly resigned as defensive coordinator after he was away from the team in the Bears' 27-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. A spokesperson for the Bears disputed social media rumors that authorities raided Halas Hall and said police have not visited the team in connection with Williams.
"It is with great regret that I tender my resignation as the defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears club effective immediately," Williams' statement read. "I am taking a step back to take care of my health and my family."
