Top 10: First half plays
Senior writer Larry Mayer ranks the Bears' top 10 plays from the first half of the season.

(10) Foles goes deep to Mooney
Nick Foles rainbowed a 50-yard pass to rookie Darnell Mooney, setting up Foles' 24-yard TD pass to Allen Robinson II two plays later in last Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints at Soldier Field. The 50-yard completion is the Bears' longest play from scrimmage of the season.

(9) Montgomery shows elusiveness on TD catch
Mitchell Trubisky rolled out of the pocket to his right and flipped a short pass to David Montgomery, who zigzagged for a 28-yard touchdown reception in a 19-14 win over the Giants Sept. 20 at Soldier Field.

(8) Rookie Johnson makes immediate impact
With the Bears trailing the Lions 23-20 late in the season opener, rookie Jaylon Johnson broke up a Matthew Stafford pass that was intercepted by Kyle Fuller, setting up the winning touchdown in a 27-23 victory in Detroit.

(7) Houston-Carson makes second game-saving play
One week after clinching a win over the Buccaneers with a late breakup of a Tom Brady pass, seldom-used safety DeAndre Houston-Carson preserved a second straight Bears victory with a late interception of Teddy Bridgewater in a 23-16 win over the Panthers Oct. 18 in Carolina.

(6) Robinson refuses to be denied on key TDÂ
Allen Robinson II caught a short pass from Nick Foles and broke two tackles en route to a 37-yard touchdown that helped the Bears turn a 26-10 fourth-quarter deficit into a stunning 30-26 win over the Falcons Sept. 27 in Atlanta.

(5) Graham generates one-handed TD receptionÂ
With his left arm being held by a Buccaneers defender in the end zone, tight end Jimmy Graham made a one-handed 12-yard touchdown reception from Nick Foles late in the first half to give the Bears a 14-13 lead en route to a 20-19 win over Tampa Bay Oct. 8 at Soldier Field.

(4) Robinson produces highlight reel TD catchÂ
Allen Robinson II made a diving 24-yard touchdown reception of a Nick Foles pass in the first half of last Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints. Robinson beat cornerback Marshon Lattimore on the play to give the Bears a 10-3 lead midway through the second quarter.

(3) Fuller's huge hit creates key takeaway
Kyle Fuller's perfectly-timed crushing hit on Tampa Bay running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn after a short reception resulted in a fumble that Bears outside linebacker Robert Quinn recovered Oct. 8 against the Buccaneers. The takeaway set up a key touchdown as the Bears edged Tampa Bay 20-19 at Soldier Field.

(2) Miller caps comeback with winning TD
Two weeks after rallying to beat the Lions, the Bears staged a similar comeback in Atlanta, beating the Falcons 30-26 on Anthony Miller's diving 28-yard touchdown reception from Nick Foles on third-and-eight with 1:53 left in the game. The Bears entered the fourth quarter trailing 26-10.

(1) Miller beats Lions with late TD
Anthony Miller beat tight coverage to haul in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Mitchell Trubisky with 1:54 remaining to give the Bears a thrilling 27-23 comeback win over the Detroit Lions in the season opener at Ford Field. The Bears entered the fourth quarter trailing 23-6.
