Bears receive unexpected second-half scoring boost from two beefy sources

CHICAGO — The Chicago Bears coughed away first-half opportunities and struggled offensively in scoring a mere six points in 30 minutes against the Los Angeles Rams.

The second half felt far different right out of the chute. And it helped turn the tide in a 15-6 Bears win over the Rams, who lost just their second game of the season Sunday night.

In just over a five-minute span to open the third quarter, the Bears had ripped off nine points scored by players who weighed a combined 630 pounds or more. Talk about a sudden — and shocking — change.
