Bears come back in Kansas City

The Bears offense must have been told that Sunday's game didn't start until the fourth quarter because through three quarters they were very quiet before a late spark lifted them to victory. 

From the very start of the game it looked like it was going to be a long day if you were a Chicago fan after the Chiefs took an early 7-0 lead when Jay Cutler fumbled on a sack and it was recovered by linebacker Ramie Wilson in the end zone for a TD. The Bears failed to score a touchdown on 10 possessions throughout the game. Even though the offense struggled, the defense played strong all day and kept the Bears in the game.The defense shut out the Chiefs offense in the second half and forced multiple three-and-outs late in the game, which allowed the Bears offense to put points on the board.

As the Bears trailed the Chiefs 17-6, Jay Cutler went to work by throwing two touchdowns in the final few minutes of the game. Cutler dropped an absolute dime to Marquess Wilson in the left corner of the end zone to cut the deficit to 17-12 with 3:05 to play. Defensive back Tracy Porter broke up an Alex Smith pass intended for Jeremy Maclin on third-and-six and the Bears got the ball back with 2:04 left. Cutler would hit rookie Cameron Meredith twice down the field for 20 and 10 yard gains. On third-and-10, Cutler fired a ball to Wilson that fell incomplete but the Bears were bailed out with a pass interference penalty by cornerback Marcus Peters which gave the Bears a first down. Two plays later, Cutler connected with Matt Forte for the winning touchdown with :18 left. Cutler actually fumbled the ball on the play but kept his composure, scooped it up, and threw it to Forte. 

The Chiefs would miss a field goal on the next possession as time expired. The Bears play the role of the comeback kids and stun the Chiefs late in the game to win their second straight game.

Bear down!
