Chicago Bears fall to New England Patriots

The Chicago Bears couldn’t keep it together to beat the New England Patriots yesterday.  In this clash of two great teams, the Patriots proved their resilience and defensive prowess to overcome the number 1 defense in the league.  The Chicago Bears will return home this weekend to take on the Minnesota Vikings on December 3.  Chicago Bears Tickets to that game cost anywhere between $25 and $2,000.

In a game that had turnovers left and right, the Bears sloppiness led to them giving up the ball four times and allowing the Patriots to secure a victory late in the game.  Although the Bears put up 153 rushing yards against one of the league’s best run defenses, stuffed the Patriots’ ground game, and endured the loss of another defensive back, Todd Johnson, it may be that they are just a good team in a mediocre NFC.

The real difference between these two teams became apparent in the fourth quarter.  Tom Brady took charge of the game and his team, connecting with Ben Watson for a 40-yard game that set up the game-winning touchdown.  Rex Grossman, meanwhile, continued to struggle and Asante Samuel picked him off for the third time.
