Chicago Sun-Times
Comments: "There were overt signs of improvement from a defense with 11 new starters from last year's opener — particularly inside linebackers Jerrell Freeman (17 tackles, one tackle-for-loss) and Danny Trevathan (11 tackles, one sack).

ESPN

The team simply wore down in the second half." - Jeff Dickerson | Read more
Houston Chronicle
Comments: "Cutler threw a 54-yard pass to Jeffery when Hal got turned every which way but loose. Kareem Jackson turned the wrong way when Cutler threw a 19-yard pass to Eddie Royal to give the Bears a one-point lead. And they did it in 31 seconds." - John McClain | Read more
