Bears punish Rams 37-13

Despite missing some key players due to injury, the Bears didn't miss a beat in their game Sunday versus the Rams as they unleashed big plays after big plays. The two biggest plays came in the first half as the Bears scored touchdowns on 87 and 83-yard passes. The Rams found the end zone on their first drive but the Bears did a good job holding them out of the end zone after that and only allowing a field goal the rest of the game.
Quarterback Jay Cutler played yet another terrific game as he racked up 233 yards and threw for three touchdowns in just the first half. Two of those three first half touchdowns from Cutler were to TE Zach Miller who turned a short pass into an explosive 87-yard touchdown. Miller caught five catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns on the day. He has now caught three touchdown passes in the past two games. Rookie running back Jeremy Langford, who replaced injured Matt Forte, scampered for an 83-yard touchdown on a perfectly executed screen. Langford had a very productive day rushing for 73 yards and a touchdown along with 109 receiving yards and a touchdown.
The Bears took their first lead of the game in the second quarter going up 17-10 after Miller's second touchdown grab and they would never look back after that. The Bears outscored the Rams 30-3 over the final three quarters. The Bears reverted back to old habits on defense producing two turnovers on the day and held star running back Todd Gurley to only 45 yards on 12 carries.
