Week 2: Bears vs. Chiefs

Chicago Bears 20
Kansas City Chiefs 10

The Good:

• Bears RB Cedric Benson ran for 101 yards on 24 carries.
• KR/PR Devin Hester returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown. Hester had 5 punt returns for a total of 143 yards. He was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
• LB Lance Briggs had 12 total tackles (11 solo), 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and a defected pass. I would say that's a good game.
• MLB Brian Urlacher had 9 total tackles (8 solo) and had his first sack since 2005.
• John St. Clair, a reserve offensive lineman, caught a 2 yard touchdown pass.

The Bad:

• QB Rex Grossman threw two interceptions.
• The O-line allowed three sacks.
• The Bears had three turnovers, but the Chiefs only scored three points off turnovers.
• The offense scored only 13 points and three points were thanks to Hester whose punt return got the Bears to the Chiefs 18 yard line.

Why the Bears won:

Grossman wasn't much better and the Bears had a lot of turnovers. What was the difference? More points. The Bears had three points last week and scored 20 points this week. The key reason was Devin Hester who scored a touchdown and helped set up a field goal.

Player of the Week: Devin Hester- 143 punt return yards, 28.6 PR AVG., 1 TD

You're better than that player of the week: Rex Grossman- 20-34 160 yards 1 TD 2 INT
