When the Chicago Bears failed to capitalize on David Montgomery’s career best 57 yard run and had to settle for a field goal, I just assumed the game was over. Yes, it was still the first quarter, but with the way the Green Bay Packers effortlessly moved the ball on their first possession, and with the sputtering offense we’ve seen from the Bears for two years now, I had no faith that a Bears’ upset was brewing.
Sure it was only 6-3 at that time, but that quickly turned into 13-3, then 20-3, then 27-3, and then in typical Bears fashion they figured out a way to score before the half to bring some hope back into the equation.
