Bears Dismantle Bills
In a completely dominant performance the Chicago Bears defeated the Buffalo Bills 40-7. Chicago's much maligned running game reeled off 155 yards and a 4.9 yard average. The game was never in doubt after the Bear's first possession. Chicago scored on it's first five possession and held a 27-0 lead at the half.
It was a milestone day with streaks broken, records set, and one player finding the endzone for the first time in his career.
Robbie Gould set the Bears all-time record for consecutive Field Goals to start a season, with 17. The old record was held by Kevin Butler with 16 straight in 1996.
Buffalo quarterback J. P. Losman, who had only 1 interception in his first four games, was picked off three times by Chicago's defense. He was also sacked three times.
Losman threw the first touchdown pass allowed by Chicago since September of 2005. The last time the Bears allowed a score through the air was to the Cincinnati Bengals, Carson Palmer to Chad Johnson. Losman's TD toss came with 1:06 left in the fourth quarter. The score was aided by a fumble by Cedric Benson.
Benson scored his first two NFL touchdowns in this game. He also rushed for 48 yards on 14 carries.
The only other bright spot for the Bills was punter Brian Moorman. He had a 57.8 average and booted several over 60 yards.
Lovie Smith pulled Rex Grossman after three quarters with the score 30-0. He finished the game 15/27 for 182 yards and two touchdowns. Brian Griese relieved Grossman and finished 4 for 4 and led the Bears on a scoring drive of almost nine minutes capped off with Benson's second touchdown of the game.
