CHICAGO -- This was more like it.
The offense played its first turnover-free game of the season. The defense made the key takeaway when it mattered most in the fourth quarter, and then after a three-and-out, stiffened just in time to stop Jeremy Langford on what would have been a game-tying two-point conversion.
It wasn't always elegant, but it was a 17-15 win over a Bears team that has made a habit of playing playoff contenders close at Soldier Field. They hung with the Packers and Vikings to the final moments earlier this season, so it was no surprise that they would stick with the Broncos on Sunday.
