Watch Matt Barkley turn in the worst QB performance of Week 16
Matt Barkley is playing for his next contract in Chicago, so you can understand why the 26-year-old QB is desperately trying to make the most of his first NFL starts.
While Barkley had won only once in four starts, he'd kept the Bears in the game every single week. But he's been prone to interceptions, and on Saturday it came back to bite him: Barkley was picked off five times in a 41-21 loss to the Redskins.
His five interceptions were the most by a Bears QB since Jay Cutler threw five against San Francisco on Nov. 12, 2009.
"I feel on some plays I tried to win the game on that play, tried to do too much," Barkley told reporters. "And those are just times when you have to eat it and live to see another play."
