From a glass-half-full point of view, absolutely no one thought the Bears would go 16-0 this season, so at least they got their first loss out of the way Sunday. EVERYONE else didn’t bother to show up in the second half. “If they ruled it a first down, if there’s no irrefutable evidence, it doesn’t change”.

As with every game, the inactives were revealed about an hour before kickoff. But starting cornerback Kyle Fuller was ruled out, and the Bears didn’t name his replacement right away. Asked what stood out after he watched the game on tape, Fox said: “Just how really close we are”. Lance Briggs, one of Gould’s former teammates, wasn’t buying management’s rationale that the team needed to get younger.
It was a timing play, where Cutler was anticipating White to turn to the right, but instead, the second-year player went to the left, leading to the turnover. Next week I hope to see the Bears have some success, but in the National Football League it’s always any given Sunday. More than a few people in the crowd in Houston teared up at the reminder of what Americans have endured. Our confidence wasn’t exactly skyrocketing at this point. Howard should get a good amount of carries if this is the case.
Props to Jay Cutler for throwing the ball in the ideal spot, and even more props to Jeffery for using his hands to haul in a pass right over cornerback Kevin Johnson’s head.
Jay Cutler made a number of key improvements in 2015, so can the Chicago Bears build on the season’s overall disappointment? Hey, the more opponents underestimate Jeffery, the better.
After two abjectly poor performances in the preseason, the Bears’ offensive line started off very strong in the first half.
Eleven Bears starters and 18 players total in the game against the Texans were playing their first game as a Bear, and new offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains was calling plays for the first time with Chicago.
Faced with fourth-and-1 on the Houston 31 with three minutes left in the first quarter, the Bears coach called Cutler’s number on the quarterback sneak, which led to. This was a huge problem last season, making it harder on the defense to stop opponents from scoring. I hear you. That was my long way of saying that, on Sunday, as the Texans emerged victorious over the Chicago Bears by a score of 23-14, certainly the Texans’ two touchdowns and three field goals were of great importance. Freeman then celebrated in the direction of the Bears sideline. 14 times! and expect to make the playoffs. The NFL Competition Committee is trying to help you out here, Bears. Either that or Long was showing him how to break a board, martial arts-style.
Despite the win, Osweiler’s schedule doesn’t get much easier in the immediate future with his next two games coming against the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots. He also fumbled twice during the game. Nobody needs to see that again. If Miller can consistently do that throughout the season, the Texans receivers will have plenty of space to operate while opposing defenses are forced to commit additional players to the box.
Alshon Jeffery led Chicago’s receivers with 105 yards.
Murray had another four-yard touchdown reception late, but the Vikings were able to fall on the Titans’ onside kick attempt and end the game from there. Keep doing you, Jay. To hear the Fox announcers tell it, White hung him out to dry by cutting his route short. As mentioned before, the O-line gave up five sacks and allowed 14 hits.
OK, so that’s a bit dramatic.

The Bears’ much improved defensive front was not very good against the Texas. They will avoid the injured Teddy Bridgewater and the suspended Tom Brady in the first five weeks of the season and face a second-year quarterback at Tennessee.
