Bears 49 - Broncos 14
After an ass kicking by the Panthers to start the season and narrowly missing a comeback against the 49ers, the Bears get back to their winning ways with a thorough handling of the Broncos. This one wasn't as lopsided in the statistics as the score would suggest, though on the field it certainly played out that way.
After last week's benching Jay Cutler responded with a clean sheet, going 9 of 16 for 255 yards and 4 TDs, one each to Knox, Hester, Wayne, and Heap, who was the leading receiver with 3 catches for 85 yards.
After a slow start Matt Forte had a huge game, rushing 10 times for 152 yards and a TD, including a 75 yard gallop and later a 34 yard TD.
Reigning Return Man of the Year Devin Hester got his first punt return TD of the year late, and the always dangerous Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had 2 picks, one in the endzone and the other he returned 66 yards to the house. New Bear Mike Jenkins had a quiet day, though he wasn't targeted much.
The Bears definitely missed the pass rushing presence of Julius Peppers as Tim Tebow ran around like a little bitch (is there any other way to describe it?) scrambling for 87 yards and having several other scrambles which resulted in wide open receivers. He wasn't particularly accurate, only going 13 of 24 for 230 yards, a TD and two picks, but he was definitely annoying. Moreno also had a very fine game.

gg siradam! I know it ended up pretty lopsided but I always feel like you have your way with my defense, it just so happens I was able to avoid mistakes this time. Looking forward to our Saints-Bears game at the end of the season.
