The point total was hardly overwhelming but the Bears’ offense for the first time this season played something close to two solid halves of football and was largely error-free: no interceptions, no fumbles, no egregious breakdowns.
“We executed,” said coach John Fox. “The problem in the first three games was that we didn’t execute for 60 minutes. It helps when you do that. There were a lot of guys that worked very hard in preparations all week. I think our offensive line blocked much better in the run and in the pass. Brian [Hoyer] moved the ball around quite a bit, as far as receiver use.
