Chicago Bears vs. Arizona Cardinals: Bears remain undefeated, barely

 

The Sporting News summed it all up. “At their worst, Bears still win.” In dramatic fashion, the Bears rallied to beat the Arizona Cardinals 24-23 on Monday night to remain undefeated and improve their record to 6-0 for the first time in 20 years. 

Quarterback Rex Grossman said after the game, “We were supposed to win the game for some reason. Everything went our way when it needed to.” 

Just barely. 

This was a game where everybody expected the battered and bruised Cardinals to leave completely mauled. The Bears brought a notoriously ferocious defense and vastly improved offense to bear against a team that had lost its last four games. 

At the half, the Arizona Cardinals led 20-0. That’s right, the Arizona Cardinals led the Bears by a score of 20 to nothing at the half. The culprit? Arizona quarterback Matt Leinart who single handedly picked apart the Bears defense in the first half, going 13 of 18 for 125 yards and two touchdowns. 

But then the Cardinals did what they seem to do best this season. Meltdown. Now the Cardinals seem to be as close to throwing in the towel as any NFL franchise. 

And the Chicago Bears? The return home next weekend to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Fans looking to get their hands on Chicago Bears Tickets should act fast.
