Morning Box Score: Bears Win Shootout Against Jets

Morning Box Score: Bears Shut Out Dolphins

     

Playing in a prime time nationally televised game, the Bears were coming off their best win of the season while the Miami Dolphins were reeling from the loss of their top two quarterbacks. The short week certainly didn't work in Miami's favor, as the Bears shut down the Dolphins offense and won 16-0. The victory was the 700th all-time for the team, making the Bears the first NFL franchise to ever reach that mark. more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Beat Bills

       

The Bears headed north of the border to close out the first half of their season, playing the Buffalo Bills in Toronto, Canada. Against the winless Bills, the Bears managed a 22-19 victory that improves their record to 5-3, but they very easily could have become Buffalo's first victim. more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Skinned by Washington

Morning Box Score: Bears Survive Collins Era

       

The Bears found lightning in a bottle in the first quarter, rediscovered their running game and survived a awful effort by backup quarterback Todd Collins to beat the winless Carolina Panthers 23-6 on Sunday and improve to 4-1 on the season. more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Corral Rams

       

Continuing their domination of one-win teams, the Bears beat the lowly St. Louis Rams 17-9 at Soldier Field on Sunday. Given the line-up shifts on the offensive line, at linebacker and in the secondary, the Bears hoped to benefit from playing a weak opponent, and they don't come any weaker than a 1-10 team. Even so, the Bears had to overcome a less than stellar performance on Sunday to improve their record to 5-7. Is one win enough to quiet those calling for Lovie Smith's head? Probably not. more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Lose to Favre Yet Again

       

We don't even know why we continue to watch this train wreck. The Bears keep looking worse and worse as their season progresses, dropping to 4-7 after losing to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings 36-10 on Sunday. The Vikings' offense obliterated the Bears bumbling defense, with the ageless Favre completing 32 of 48 passes for 392 yards and three touchdowns; the Vikings racked up 537 yards of total offense. Five different receivers caught at least five passes from Favre, led by rookie Percy Harvin's first 100 yard game on six receptions. With the defensive game plan focused on Adrian Peterson, the Bears "held" the star running back to 85 yards rushing, and the Vikings still managed 159 yards on the ground. more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Fall To Eagles

       

Playing in prime time for the fourth time this season, the Bears crumbled under the lights yet again -- this time losing 24-20 to the Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field. In spite of a few extra days to prepare after playing on Thursday last week, the Bears were unable to pull out a win in a game where the Bears had their chances against a team missing a number of key players. more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Beat Browns

       

Having fallen to .500 by losing two straight after a 3-1 start to the year, the Bears looked to right the ship against the 1-6 Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field on Sunday. While the Bears came away with a 30-6 victory, it was hardly the reassuring victory the team and fans were looking for. Sure the Bears managed to score 30 points on Sunday, but the team's offense repeatedly encountered trouble when it found itself inside the redzone against the league's worst defense. On three separate occasions the team had to settle for field goals and once even turned the ball over on downs. The Bears may have scored 30 points, but that they didn't capitalize on opportunities to score forty or more was a failure. more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Beat Themselves In Atlanta

       

While the scoreboard showed that the Atlanta Falcons beat the Bears 21-14 on Sunday night, the reality is that the Bears beat themselves. Turnovers in the red zone and inopportune penalties killed numerous chances to score and left the Bears to hang their heads in defeat. "We had a lot of opportunities to win the game," coach Lovie Smith said. "You can't make those kinds of mistakes on the road against a good football team." more ›

Morning Box Score: Bears Maul Lions

       

For a half, the Detroit Lions looked like a team intent on putting together an actual winning streak as an encore to their first victory in almost two years. They jumped out to an early lead and went into the half tied at 21. However, the Bears came alive in the second half and ended up blowing out the Lions 48-24 at Soldier Field. We probably weren't the only Bears fans concerned when the Lions scored on the game's opening drive, to take an early 7-0 lead. But the Bears answered, with Jay Cutler scoring on an helicopter spin of a leap into the end zone. The Lions stormed back down the field and took a 14-7 lead before the Bears tied the game on a touchdown moments into the second quarter. A Tommie Harris interception set up a Greg Olsen score that gave the Bears a 21-14 lead, but the resilient Lions drove 98 yards to knot things up before the intermission. more ›
