(2:47pm) - Dan Carpenter's 33-yard field goal gave the Bills a 20-17 lead with 4:02 left in the fourth quarter. The kick capped an eight-play, 37-yard drive and was set up by a Jay Cutler interception. Buffalo has scored 13 of its 20 points off three Bears turnovers.
Cutler throws second pick
(2:41pm) - The Bears reached the Buffalo 34. But on third-and-one, Jay Cutler's ill-advised pass back across the middle intended for tight end Martellus Bennett was intercepted by defensive tackle Kyle Williams.

**Third Quarter:
**
Marshall TD ties score
(2:07pm) - The Bears converted Chris Conte's interception into a game-tying touchdown as Jay Cutler connected with Brandon Marshall in the left corner of the end zone for a 5-yard score, knotting the score 17-17 with 4:23 left in the third quarter.
Conte intercepts Manuel
(1:58pm) - The Bears generated their first takeaway of the game as safety Chris Conte intercepted an EJ Manuel pass intended for receiver Marquise Goodwin midway through the third quarter. Conte returned the pick five yards to the Chicago 44.
Bears cut deficit to seven
(1:47pm) - Robbie Gould's 41-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half pulled the Bears to within 17-10 with 9:34 left in the third quarter.
The kick capped an 11-play, 57-yard drive and came two plays after Kyle Long failed to haul in a well-thrown Jay Cutler pass on a wheel route near the goal line.
Forte earlier gained 18 yards on a screen pass thanks in part to a good block by Brian de la Puente, who has replaced Roberto Garza at center. Garza, like left guard Matt Slauson, is questionable to return with an ankle injury.

(1:05pm) - EJ Manuel's 7-yard touchdown pass to Fred Jackson in the right flat gave the Bills a 17-7 lead with 5:30 left in the first half.

(12:54pm) - The Bills converted Brandon Marshall's fumble into Dan Carpenter's 50-yard field goal, giving Buffalo a 10-7 lead with 8:07 left in the second quarter.
Buffalo was forced to settle for the kick in part due to Willie Young dropping Fred Jackson for a five-yard loss on a sweep to the left.
Marshall loses fumble
(12:48pm) - The Bears were on the move early in the second quarter but committed the game's first turnover when Brandon Marshall was stripped by cornerback Leodis McKelvin after a 18-yard reception.
