The Chicago Bears beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday for their second game in a row. It was a grinder-type of game. They were playing from behind all game, but they stuck to it and finally came away with the win.
The Bears defense continued to show improvement. Of course, it helped that one of the top running backs in the game, Jamaal Charles, went down in the third quarter with a torn ACL, but the Chiefs overall had trouble gaining yards.
The Bears were down 17-3 at the time of Charles’ injury, then they took over in the fourth.
After spinning in mud for most of the game, Jay Cutler led the Bears offense to two fourth-quarter touchdowns. He was sacked twice, but he was running around most of the game, dodging defenders. The offense was playing without three of its starting linemen and missing Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal.
“I knew we needed to make some plays in the fourth quarter. I trust the guys around me,” said Cutler, who was making his second start after a hamstring injury. “I know all I’ve got to do is get the ball out to them and they’ll do most of the hard work.”
The Bears special teams came up big also, blocking a Cairo Santos field goal attempt that was crucial for the win.
The win was the Bears’ second in a row after starting 0-3. They may not be a championship contender, but things are starting to look up for John Fox and the Chicago Bears.
Let’s see how they look in the rankings after the big win:
