For the second straight week the Bears were at least credible in running the football, Jay Cutler was not sacked, and Jimmy Clausen was sacked twice in the second half as the game got away from the Bears and they were forced into obvious passing situations.
But whatever the offensive line got, it came close to giving back, at least in terms of not only yardage, but also in momentum through an egregious number of penalties – six on the group. The infractions, too many of them pre-snap, were catastrophic.
Jermon Bushrod was ticketed three times, right guard Vladimir Ducasse twice and center Will Montgomery once.
