His early score set the tone for an Arizona 48-23 victory.

Clausen threw three straight incompletions on the next possession, and the Bears were forced to kick a 40-yard field goal.
As soon as the Chicago Bears gave up a touchdown on the opening kickoff, I knew this game had the potential to get ugly quickly. The defense blitzed more as the game progressed and it might be something they need to do more in the future if the pass rush doesn’t improve.
In these first two games, Fitzgerald already has 14 catches for 199 yards and three touchdowns. I just go out there and do what I can.
You can’t blame a Bears fan for looking over at the other side of the bench at the person who is getting paid by Arizona to win.
After hanging with Green Bay in the opener, they delivered a performance that was as flat as any they gave past year under Trestman. They had only marginal success with it, as Chris Johnson never broke off a run longer than eight yards and averaged 3.6 per carry.
Through two games, albeit an abbreviated Week 2 outing, he has two touchdowns, two interceptions and two losses.
“He’s just special”, Palmer said.
There’s real concern that the Dallas Cowboys will lose their grip on the NFC East without Romo, and the New Orleans Saints might bottom out if Brees misses significant time. It is very deceiving – it doesn’t look like he’s moving as fast as he truly is, and he’s such a long strider. “He is such a long strider, such a powerful strider it nearly looks effortless”. He was also credited with 2 rushing attempts for -5 yards. He wound up with 153 all-purpose yards.
At the time of the interception, the Chicago Bears were trailing the Arizona Cardinals 21-14. One couldn’t be avoided, the veteran defensive end said – the zone-read runs of quarterback Jay Cutler, before Cutler got hurt.
Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson beat Cutler’s tackle and went into the endzone for a 26-yard touchdown return.
Bears receiver Alshon Jeffrey also missed last week’s game with a hamstring injury but may be able to play this week. “I don’t care what position it is. But at this point he’s got a pulled hamstring”, Fox explained. In an effort of making a touchdown-saving tackle, Cutler was injured.

He was 14-of-23 for 121 yards and an interception. “I think previous year , teams were a little less aggressive and kind of sitting back waiting for the pass”. “But we’re going to go out and do what we can do, Aaron’s going to find us and we’re going to make plays when we have the opportunities”. It’s “quit doing dumb stuff and get it corrected”.

The Bears and backup Jimmy Clausen responded poorly Sunday to the loss of Cutler, although it’s possible a week of preparation changes that. It was everything that defines Fitzgerald in one simple play: the vice-like hands, the incredible strength, the determination and a personality that has made him one of the most likeable players in the National Football League throughout his career.
