The Bears lost another game, and they don’t know who their quarterback is going to be for the coming weeks or the future, but it was a different frustration that seemed to boil over on the sidelines yesterday.
Per Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times, Bears safety Harold Jones-Quartey had to be separated from teammates on the sidelines after an intense argument with safety Adrian Amos.
The debate happened after the Colts’ first touchdown, apparently over who was supposed to be covering a wide-open Dwayne Allen on fourth down at the goal line. “Football is a very emotional game,” Jones-Quartey said. “When we’re all in the action, we can get emotional and make wrong decisions and make wrong choices in the heat of an emotional game. That’s what that was.”

Bears coaches must not have liked either the miscommunication or the spat, because Jones-Quartey was benched in favor of veteran Chris Pronsinski, which coach John Fox said was a performance-based decision.
