Bears 20, Chiefs 10

I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for yesterday's thrashing of the KC Chiefs.

On a side note, now is not a good time to be a Leavitt. In addition to the Bears downing the Chiefs, the Cubs beat the Cards on Sunday to crush what little playoff hopes the red birds had. The Cubs finished 11-5 against the Cards this year.

Back to the Bears game...Grossman played decently in the first half but was terrible in the second half. Rex threw two INTs in the second half. He was roundly booed after his second pick. Benson looked good, rushing for 101 yards on 24 carries. Orton looked really sharp in the pre-game warm ups!

Hester was unbelievable. He returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown and would have had a 95 yard kickoff return for a TD had Rod Wilson not been flagged for holding.

The defense was great again, especially in the second half when the Chiefs were trying to make a comeback. About halfway through the 4th quarter, Tillman deflected a pass in the end zone to teammate Danieal Manning who returned it just shy of the 30 yard line. Tillman later ended the Chiefs day by causing a fumble by Michael Bennett. Luckily the Chiefs were out of timeouts at that point because I don't think Grossman and the offense could have done anything besides a QB kneel to end the game.

Overall, I had a great time and really enjoyed the new Soldier Field. I'll have to post some of the pictures I took later.
