2014 Bills @ Bears

[Applause] but Soldier Field the bears animals [Music] a beautiful September afternoon 74 degrees and sunny as we get set for the opening kickoff Marc Trestman his second season as Bears head coach eight and eight in 2013 and across the way and in second season as Buffalo finished six of Ted last year go and spend some time with dr. ohn yesterday an old teammate of mine back at Syracuse is definitely a throwback Darrell he is his old school and he's you know he's bringing a different approach to Buffalo and that would be a process to as he takes this team and tries to flip that culture and what he's looking for all that accountability like you pointed out Tony a little bit of old school in doc Maroons approach he's got that attitude too [Applause] the Bears have won the toss they elected to defer so Robbie gold will get things started CJ spiller back teeth for the bills and we talked about the defense at the tops of the Bears how did they improve the other big question mark for the Bears coming out of pre-season with special teams and not just having a new long snapper having a new partner but their coverage units really struggled 21st season of the NFL on Fox is Mills will start from their 20-yard line onto the field by the second-year quarterback out of Florida State EJ Manuel started 10 games last season and I don't think people really understand you know how beat up he was during the course of his rookie season he he tears his meniscus in the preseason then again in week 17 he enters his LCL on early October he was never really healthy last season at any point during the year first and ten from the 20 yard line this is Skinner [Applause] let's bridge the seven-time Pro ball in on the tackle of story games a couple late getting 40 Glenn in to training camp so this is a starting 5 that never really had an opportunity to play together through the preseason so their first go at it as a starting unit CJ spiller the big explosive runner right there and and you've got those playmakers he talked about on the outside Robert Wood Sammy Watkins talked to Bob Bell the wide receiver coach before the game he could do everything that wide receiver spot this is star of secretary here's that front that was really overhauled Jared Allen Lamar Houston and you're going to see that step pursued that's warming to the ball but they've still got some questions here DJ Williams think that that's one of the big answers but Shane McClellan his transition and then here in the second there we all know how good these corners are but that safety position we're going to see some different players [Applause] fortieth the cat's away last year the receivership and six for the bills manual throws for the first time the away from the veteran tight-end Scott Chandler's so Buffalo on their first possession of the season those three now and one of the things that EJ manually wanted to work on this year the location of the ball allowing the receiver to run after the catch you can see right here that's on the back shoulder to Scott Chandler you get that ball out in front to make that play convert that first down for you still should have made that catch get back into hands on that rotate your body help your quarterback out make some tough catches young punter Colton snip bet the preseason with the 49ers he replaces the veteran Brian doble Devin Hester in Chicago st. audio the 35 good coverage downfield Marcus Easley for the bills [Applause] Jay Cutler and his season in Chicago leads the Bears offense onto the field they start from their 34 yard line we talked about EJ Manuel having playmaker on him how about Jay Cutler holy cow I mean the skill grew for the Chicago Bears the envy of a lot of teams around the NFL just that that offensive line [Applause] first now this is passport wrapped up by Marcel Darius date of to four or teh the Bears starting offensive line they were together as a unit from all 16 games last season yeah one of only three groups but not together at all this preseason Jordan Mills the one piece that was missing there and their playmakers we talked about it's just very impressive big strong playmakers on the outside Paris without started fullback Tony via a hamstring injury second down [Applause] public receptions season well Marshall picks up a first down as we take a look at the bills defensively yeah three pro-bowl are starting from your left to right there the one guy that's out Jerry he is 10 and a half sacks last year so a very very good front unfortunately Kiko Alonso out of the lineup with a nutball related injury that cost indices and Brandon Spikes maybe solidifies that middle and no scuff on Gilmore the terrific yell corner of the court in turn replaced by the footer you set it down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] straight to the Buffalo 15 for yard pass play excellent buy all Sean Jeffrey right here on the release gets over top of Leodis McKelvin and it's all over at that point and look at the throw by Jay Cutler Jake caller just standing back there that offense line doing a really great job at keeping that whole defensive line and a line of scrimmage and giving him plenty of time to look downfield [Applause] clock winding down when you get down to the red zone and you look across the board and you see Brandon Marshall all Sean Jeffrey Martell has been is what really presents the challenge watch number 83 here on the release he gets a Korean release against pressed and round the slip right there makes it far too easy we've seen a couple slips out here by the bills on this surface [Applause] [Applause] horrific start to the season for the Bears offense today's game is sponsored by Southwest Airlines fine self assurance there's online only at Southwest calm Martellus Bennett 12 yard touchdown reception bears four plays 66 yards coupler three for three I mean as methodical as you can be getting everybody involved we saw the completion to Brandon Marsh field in the big play to all Sean Jeffery and then the touchdown to Martellus Bennett it's a very very challenging skill set [Music] this is Scott [Applause] it takes color to the 29-yard line Chris Conte the tackle color perfect by the first drive 7 nothing Chicago today's game is sponsored by Bud Light who reliance fans to stay in the game and rate responsibly in Chicago second position for the Buffalo first attack [Applause] Robert Woods ii aricema have seen and was mix up a first out a gain of 12 what kind of a star you would expect to have here in Chicago for the Buffalo Bills when you look at the history of when the Bills have come here to play in Chicago not a whole not any sick stuff not much lost all fire games the city of Chicago [Applause] this is French action five Jared Allen made the tackle and really what has to happen for EJ Manuel to take that next step as a young quarterback you really want to be able to lean on your running game so CJ spiller and Fred Jackson you've got to have production there and then all of a sudden you can expand off of that we saw a little play-action air on that first play with the bootleg for a nice gain of Robert Woods valiant action only two minutes to both game yards on the ground way of seizure suck it out at five inside handoff detection he's been only just running back the National Football League 33 years of age takes it to the 49 setting up a slowdown at two for Buffalo but very impressed with what he does you see that yards per carry right there at 4.3 that that's a very nice average for a guy for career and the season and everything and it's that is what's gonna have to happen it because what into this situation right here gene if you're down in addition to hitting in the fan in short situations bring the shaver Shepherd out at two [Applause] side and his bullets who makes the catch and has finally brought down by Conti inside the 20-yard line of the Bears a firm tooth guard connection and I think that you're going to start to see the development of the trust between quarterback and wide receiver this is van de man one-on-one coverage on the outside EJ Manuel said we've got to take advantage of these situations so you have to trust to throw that ball up and let Robert woods go get it it's a little behind but it's in a great spot because he can adjust and Tim Jennings can forty receptions for woods - rookie let the bills for in creation with 15 well to a good start today wait watch it two bills get the staff with time on first down five anyone [Applause] and he's out of bounds around the 15-yard line so manual able to pick up six and he's somebody that wants to learn from the players that have gum before him and EJ Manuel spent a lot of time in the offseason talking to other quarterbacks and you know one of the things that he was told was in a situation like that it's it's not about getting that extra two yards you've got to be smart you've got to learn how to slide you've got to learn how to press that sideline and get out about it's going to be paramount that he stays healthy makes good decisions in the running game along with the passing game about was sound advice when he received from Colin Kaepernick they work out together darling off extra blocker Chris Hairston second down and four mrs. Jackson van McClellan Lamar Houston and on the tackle I tell you what right now watching this bears defense against the run the one thing you are seeing is a lot more pursuit to the ball they're playing with a lot of passion right here in this course will Sutton on the inside getting in disrupting that right away look at all the bear defenders Ted Williams every man held it off Brett Jackson third down and two - Sammy Watkins the rookie out of Clemson mix up a Bills first down his first NFL reception and talking to Rob Moore the wide receiver coach for the bills before the game very very impressed with Sammy Watkins really his entire wide receiving group and really challenging those guys to be helpful to EJ Manuel and he said the sky's the limit for Sammy Watkins he's never seen a guy at this stage rookie coming into the NFL with the ability that he has where will save us went to the right side first of all for the bells the Fred Jackson he takes it down inside the two they're not getting away from this run at all they're gonna challenge that middle that defense all day long is the value that you've talked about the linebackers one thing get caught up but if you start playing the run a little bit too much that play-action really comes into play in the open field it's been a nice drive here toner they've thrown a lot of different things at the Bears defense really kind of kept off-balance throughout this drive again three receivers to the lead second and goal manual into the endzone touchdown [Applause] this is really well designed you put trips out to the wide side of the field you're gonna run your zone read it really kind of put people in a tough spot I want you to watch the tight end on this he stock blocks right here at the bottom of your screen look at that that's a walk in for EJ Manuel so all the attention goes to the defensive left side with that trips formation you get the zone read get everybody to commit and EJ Manuel makes an easy decision to pull it in scamper into the end zone that could happen those linebackers been on that fake Concord to the extra points the bills punch down field try the game manual touchdown add the finger roll [Music] today's game on Fox is sponsored by Pizza odds bacon and cheese stuffed crust Milo's loathes never stop improving and by visa checkout the easier way to pay online [Music] each a manual knows the expectations as a first-round draft pick and that franchise quarterback designation and and he is as disappointed as anybody in his whole purpose performance and production last season he knows there's a lot of adversity that he has to overcome and right there on that drive you see the upside just the very defense that the Bills can throw action Norton game kicks it off sonorous merry looking out of Louisville tension [Applause] he's outside of the 15-yard line five articie so a little bit of everything on that last play and Scott Chandler right here he's got the key block on the outside against Brian Monday that allows EJ Manuel to walk in [Music] Bill's today play their first regular-season games since the passing of the patriarch of the bills franchise hall-of-famer Ralph Wilson jr. who passed away and purchased the bills in nineteen behind one of the cofounders of the American Football League we talk about Davis and Lamar ha and Ralph Wilson oh so a key part of that AFL as they got underway wife Mary now the controlling owner of the bills as Cutler throws five yard line five Jeffery for a gain of 12 out of Chicago Bears first down it just continues I mean you challenged you so much with all these players that line up across the formation Jay Cutler just drops back he's getting those pre snaps pre-snap reads telling him where to go and now you've got to defend against big physical receivers on the outside second reception for Jeffrey first and 10 25 yard line this is the part where Jay Cutler is taking the next step in his second year in Marc Trestman system really roll out the line of scrimmage the handoff to Forte Forte is dragged down from behind at the 28th time for a game break to Los Angeles Curt Menefee and in the early upset alert Philadelphia's turned the ball over twice Jacksonville attend both in the touchdown each one chatting hitting to the rookie Allen heard that 121 yards is 14 nothing Jacksonville to believe Kenny moose induce a lot of people in suicide pools get nervous you got that right Kurt I am 14 nothing Jaguars are the Eagles won the NFC East last season second down and seven blows across the field at sport a the Bears to the 42 this is that full-out play-action you sell it and you're going to send your two big receivers down the field looking for the big play to Brandon Marshall or all Sean Jeffrey but the big thing is the problem you have to account for is that guy in the backfield I'll be your play fig guy but all of a sudden you lose sight of him and he just drifts into the flat and look at all the open space form so Jay Cutler starts the game by completing his first five pass attempts [Applause] from the 42 on first down for tape short intended for Brandon Marshall with Corey crammed on the coverage yeah I think he got to sell this one just a little bit more I think the toss back that Jay Cutler came a little bit soon let's see if Matt Forte was a little bit rushed here you know get up there sell that a little bit more allow your receivers to get down the field Wow those secondary players to kind of bite on that play action they didn't fool anybody in the Buffalo secondary you can see the coverage right there by Corey gram-gram be X bear who was filling in for the entrance Stephon Gilmore we gotta check the Lisa this is Joe Morgan incomplete pass or to the ex 49er and a to enjoy the Bears during the off-season going a little trickery Darrell you know flea-flicker now a little bit of a screen pass city outside I mean they were dominated in that first driving I'm surprised they got away from just going to count the balls on the ball down for you Rick no need no need to reach into the bag of tricks then beetle I field on third down 14 split wide to the left bears must get to the Buffalo 48 first is taken down back at the 35 yard line by Mario Williams along with Kyle Williams and pocket close down really fast on the side you got some unique athletes when you're talking about the outsider Mario Williams we talked to you Jim Swartz about him he said you know it's kind of hard to compare him everybody he's just such a physical specimen with his size strength speed quickness lucky punter Patrick O'Donnell out of the University of Miami the bills get a big play from their defense tied at7 in Chicago it's not at seven in Chicago [Music] EJ Manuel on the pills went three and out of their first possession that a ninth way 71 much downtime bill starts her there twice following the Chicago punch after pump fake [Applause] Sammy Watkins Gannett just one last bridge the tackle wha-wha was made in the Buffalo area when EJ Manuel was not elected to be a cat that Brandon Spikes Cory Graham two guys first-year players in Buffalo were designated and a lot of people wondered why and I loved his response you know hey I've gotta earn my stripes you know just because I'm the quarterback doesn't automatically mean I should be designated captain and he was he was four and six as a starter last year he says I've gotta prove to my teammates that I earned that right to be accountable off the fake to Jackson rolling right checking it now right summers rack down by Ryan Bundy setting up a third down and five and I think this is one of the areas where we'll hopefully see that improvement from EJ Manuel this year a lot of criticism in his rookie season as being a check down guy always looking for the safe throw underneath you need to know where that check that is but you I expect to see him this year take that next step understanding the coverage is in the NFL all has to go getting it down the field a little bit more than then when it's not open checking it down for a first down by Sammy Watkins crosses midfield 25-yard pass play really nice timing on this throw it's a deep in round it's going to be a staple of this offense look at the in and out change the direction right there by Sammy Watkins in the ball thrown right on time right on target EJ Manuel is definitely going in turn and if he keeps throwing balls like that I mean actually he got you down for next week yeah our next week exactly receptions for Watkins [Applause] snort in the backfield depression he goes back at the 43 yard line and really loved the former Detroit lion loss of seven on the play good pass rush my Willie young coming from the top of your screen number 97 is gonna beat Sean trial Henderson EJ Manuel feels it but it's a little bit too late he's not going to be able to break away but a good job of getting down covering the ball don't take a bad play and make it a play that can change everything the game at this early stage don't give him a turnover on your side of the field check it out - chip Jennings [Applause] well that's a really nice job by Tim Jennings Eric piers the right guard is going to go out there and Tim Jennings is able to make a move on him and make the tackle because that that was a well designed play was set up well there's a lot of room for Fred Jackson to run but Tim Jenny makes a heck of a play right here Eric here is trying to get out there but those guys are a little bit more athletic where's alignment exactly just get body make them do something but don't whip on be delivered one in girl there in the first quarter bills must get to the Chicago 40 takes off and he's out of bounds at the 14th or about 4 yards shy of the marker [Applause] I think you can see the confidence from last year to this year in ej manuel on that play right there you know protection breaks down he's movement to his right goes to the right he's right-handed looking downfield the entire time knows where the line of scrimmage is does his best to get the first down he gets out of bound safely first quarter comes to an end here in chicago bears and pills tied at seven we are back in Chicago yes that's us since the bills the Bears tied at seven as we begin the second quarter Oh picture there that's an old picture to update those Kenny couple years three or four years ago dude there cats watching yard line Michael Spurlock everything if you were in charge the world would be a better place well this September Fox is giving 15 people the chance to prove it by building their ideal society from scratch utopia witnessed the birth of a brave new world tonight at 8:00 7:00 central on Fox goose I bet there are no rules it's perfect for you I love it I love it I downloaded the app we lost Tony's Mike back the marivan topia yeah I downloaded the app and I'm addicted they go on their watch see what people are doing got apples in this thing and a little bit of controversy here and there was a great show I'm really looking forward to seeing it tonight [Applause] Forte but you have coaches that that compliment the opposition and Jim Schwartz having been in Detroit for the last several years knows Matt Forte very well and you know probably one of the nicest compliments I've ever heard is maybe the most under-the-radar player in the NFL you know we hear so much about the the playmakers on the outside the running backs and wide receivers the tight ends in the NFL and it seems like Matt Forte is that one guy that we don't hear enough about with his importance to this bears office finished or to the entire lincoln yards from scrimmage last season yeah let's go to each side [Applause] yards shy of another bears first out I tell you I got to see this one again because this is kinda like Raj we are we sure we're gonna do this we're gonna put you in shock and we're gonna let everybody go and then you just get the ball over the mat as quick as you can it looked like it was a kind of a jailbreak and the Bears go to the no-huddle and it is Forte out for the 43 yard line brigade of six at a first down changed it up on this series again they're up in the air now to vote on the ground games how about as good as they were offensively last year Jay Cutler says we probably threw away 25% of what we did last year as we looked at new things to add this year so yeah rookie out of Arizona 15 carried fourth-round draft pick by the backfield replaces bat Forte there's a flag on fish penalty locker of the game pass intended for Jeffrey rookie referee Brad Allen working his first NFL game illegal use of the hands half of the face that's one of the points of emphasis this year coming into use be able to get that hand on the face and if you got it off right away it wasn't going to be a call and you may have noticed the wireless devices the officials now able to communicate with one another you know actually you know the tablets have gotten a lot of attention this year in the preseason and we've come into week one in the opener and all the new technology that's been put in but I think this is one of the more intriguing ones here the fact that all the officials out there in communication with each other the cuddles anymore no more big Huddle's I guess yeah hopefully we will live together group gathering their energies right first protect from the 48 who eats X Brandon Marshall [Applause] the bells 45 and we've had some some changes in the game we saw preseason and I think it's all part of it you know keeping the pace of play the same and the fact that everybody can stay in communication with each other and we don't have to get together like Tony said when we have those conferences and those Huddle's we're at constant communication at our spots around the field three receivers to the lights the band's second down and three [Music] Jeffrey there's first now [Applause] well Cory Graham a little bit frustrated with himself but that's that's a tough job to be out there one on one in open space against all Shawn's effort against any of these guys and he's out there because Stephon Gilmore was not able to play today this this is not the offense you want to be down one of your corners against all hey bears offense to snort just kind of 28 points per game last season second of the NSW pot goes score boy to the Bears again [Applause] by the bills and taken back better rustic Brown Chicago Bears territory there is a flag down now Kenny black on the Bears logo at midfield [Applause] it was holding my office number 63 that penalty is declined was overplay first down Buffalo [Applause] Marshall has the ball knocked loose by Leodis McKelvin Preston Brown scooped it up dose football today's game on Fox is sponsored by the Lincoln Motor Company and the first-ever MKC by the new crime thriller the drop starring Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini in theaters Friday and by the new dollar cravings menu at Taco Bell live mas what a day in Chicago kickoff weekend pairs and bills tied at 7 [Music] Brandon Marshall [Music] on that fumble on the last play it was a good play by the Otis McElveen he gets beat he makes the play afterwards there's two catch two feet down the balls not loose clean recovery by Preston Brown Bill's ball first contender this is anthony Dixon his first carry as a bill spent the last four years with the San Francisco 49ers and he gave five to the 41 yard line one of those pickups it's not going to generate a lot of publicity around the league but anthony Dixon he's one of those blue guys that you have to have on a successful team he'll do all the dirty work for you it'll be a core special teams guy fullback running back to do anything you ask for and here's you talked about the technology with the officials being able to be in communication the other one the tablets here on the sideline 13 of them on the sideline wireless 12 upstairs to the coaches coaches able to film you still finish those tablets five Bundy a nice change there with the tablets on the sideline but not everybody uses them Daryl you know talk about a chance to talk to some of the coaches on both teams and a lot of Myr Stokes using the paper where you go and look at multiple things at one time the tablet you know there's only a certain size so you really can't see anything you can zoom on it then do some nice things but it's all about speed and get the information out so they're using a couple different things tablets and other state [Applause] takes it down to the 30-yard line he's a tough physical runner you get out onto the field during pregame in heaven e.dickson walks by and he's uh he's a big fit guy and you see right here how physically is with the ball watches this is Ryan Monday clean shot you've got two guys coming in you know to try and make that tackle he just bounces off him and goes downfield or more yards so Dixon relieving action and Spiller games 11 yards on two carries [Applause] backfield second down and four as the bills went to capitalize following to make the tackle Jared Allen got a lot of the attention coming in but Lamar Houston Willie young they brought in a lot of different guys drafted some guides into that defensive front and it's pretty stout I mean these are some good players they fit this scheme very well we've seen Willie young disrupt the bills offense a couple times already now so if you're worried about Jared Allen from time to time but you're going to have Lamar Houston you're going to have Willie young opposite that getting some one-on-one Jarrod's gonna try to double motion [Applause] [Music] because the double-team here we're down at night [Applause] nice tackle made by the former cowboy Danny but prey so the pills will send out the field goal unit now that's the second time we've seen a screen setup with an opportunity to have some success but this time it's Danny McCray with the nice play out of the space avoids the block Chris Williams right there and makes the tackle so a couple athletic plays by the bear secondary and these potentially big screen plays for his dad carpenter to attempt a 50-yard field goal - you 50 fostering the preseason the left trash [Applause] place it down [Applause] the yard is good Buffalo Bills take their first lead it's now at 7:00 [Music] rough season for the Bears defensively in 2013 and that's an unbelievable graphic right there you look at four of them last year four in the previous nine seasons but there's been some big changes here defensive coordinator Mel Tucker I think tried to keep a little bit of that system in place in 2013 have an overhaul this year with new players a new coach in our story Kate City and a great start for the Bears offensively today well a great start for the Bears offense but the big question we have is about the defense how are they going to be what is their role going to be this year and with ten points given up to the bills I don't think it's any time to panic right now I think they're playing well we've seen some good plays by Willie young who's one of the new additions Jared Allen's ollie gonna grab attention that front is strong they felt that way during the preseason but the questions were linebacker and safety I think the linebackers and the safety position has played well up until this point bills were given a short field following the Marshall turnover kick a field goal and lead the Bears 10 7 I'll Tucker and his second season as defensive coordinator here in Chicago first and 10 from the 20 yard line it's the tide bed there is a flag [Applause] pass interference offense number 85 King Guard penalty first down trying to add Mathew Mulligan I wonder if this was a rough play where Matthew Mulligan is coming in and he's going to create a pick for Martellus Bennett so let's keep all right here's Martellus Bennett coming across there there's the block right there right here you've got Matthew Mulligan making contact before that balls thrown downfield they raised his hand and really your eyes right to him you can't do that if you're gonna go and rub off the arms down low and try to get way but a streaming a very good acting job oh no easy little Hollywood forcing the Bears back to the 10-yard line Jeffrey I'll shot Jennifer to the 15-yard line gain of three now looking at the Chicago offense I really like moose how they came out early running the ball a little bit with nice passes downfield mixing it up and then they come out in the next series and they and they run a couple you know that the flea-flicker and things that I really didn't like I think they got away from you know what was working and I think because of that they gave this defense a little bit of help I think that you know confidence is on their side right now say they got a battle back in this thing check it out at 17 [Applause] 25 yard line Forte Preston Brown man to tackle the game 15 yards so the bears now facing a third down and four and they've kind of been their own worst enemy at times - Tony you know coach Trestman talked about the opening game of the season there's a little bit of unknown because not everybody is going to show what they do during the preseason so it's about fundamentals it's about technique it's about discipline and since that opening drive the Bears have kind of had some mistakes that have cost them the opportunity to maintain the ball turnovers bears must get to the 30 [Applause] now to the 48 yard line 70-yard pass play Luke Williams finally brought him down and this is what we talked about with location in accuracy look at the throw by Jay Cutler out in flow our tunnels Bennet catches it in stride and is able to make a play down the field got a player down right now but also a lot of a lot of helmets on the ground now they've all been to Buffalo we've seen one penalty Hansen face but Dietetic maps loss of the injured bear today's game just want to buy McDonald's official sponsor of the NFL I'm loving it back in Chicago Bears left guard Matt small City replaced by a young lineman Michael Ola number 70 who played for head coach Marc Trestman at Montreal in the Canadian Football League so hola for Swanson covers passage [Applause] try the 20 there is a flag ii chicago turnover [Applause] Martellus Bennett not even looking for this ball as he's going down the scene they cut we're trying to fit it in but Martellus Bennett was not expecting that throw during the return illegal use of the hands by hand to the face for 17 of the passing team the end of the line first down as Martellus Bennett right here at the top of that bunch route he's got the deep vertical rabbit to see kind of lackadaisical and getting that head around and Cory Graham eyes on the quarterback the whole time able to jump that and get the interception there's all Sean Jeffrey with the hands to the face against Aaron Williams so Cory crab with the PEC he grew up in Buffalo a idolized Steve Tasker and Thurman Thomas his first game as a bell at five years here in Chicago too in Baltimore comes up if the second takeaway for the bills here in the first half it's two good guys to look up to Thurman Thomas he passed off he not like Steve Tasker people crazy man special teams halt I had to block on the wing on punt they tried to put me out of one cut that wasn't ours goose is still trying to catch one the intercepts it sets up the bells offense first and goal and take it in front touch down by CJ Keller Nathaniel hacked the offensive coordinator for the bills is calling a really nice game right now he's really thrown a lot of different things little misdirection here again we've got CJ spiller straight to the fly able to outflank the coverage immediately [Applause] nice aggressive play call Woodsen play action on your first play after the turnover for the touchdown carpenters for the extra point Hills have turned to Chicago Bears turnovers into 10 points here in the second quarter manual to speller for the bills touchdown [Music] as Cory Crabb who's an exception led to the bills touchdown they're really good I get watch 83 Martellus Bennett is he just cleared out but Cory Graham eyes on the quarterback the whole time jumps that gets the interception to create the great field position and I really like the play call by Nathaniel Hackett right there and they don't forget this is a team sport I scored you know there's the offense scoring a touchdown let's get over there congratulate the guy that gave us the opportunity as we been gram starting little the injury supervised upon noble comes up with the big pipe very thanks Annie yes we'll start from there 20 stolen out left guard that's Lawson they just got to get back to what they did on that opening possession it was such an impressive display by this bears offense for plays right down the field touchdown getting all your big guys involved Forte Marshall Jeffrey and Bennett and then his Tony pointed out how he tried to get a little cute with stuff we've got a plea slick we got some bubble screens let's get back to what we did in the beginning if Marc Trestman says week one is about fundamentals to technique and discipline they've gotten away from that stay squeeze up prop xx first down [Applause] there is a flag [Applause] I call this against the the bills and the onus McElveen is going to be really upset because I want to see the end of this because all Shawn Jeffery is competing for the ball when the flag was thrown I thought it was going to go offense let's keep our eyes down at the bottom and see what we can see it's a double move the little stutter go I know we've changed this and we're looking at it from a different perspective right now but that's two guys on the outside competing for the ball both have eyes on the ball both trying to make the play for the ball I want to let that one go absolutely I would from the 44 on first down this is Kerry Kerry first NFL Kerry rookie out of Arizona pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year the season ago because mats Lawson who went out in that last year he's still favoring that leg looks like he's heading into the locker room right now go Michael Ola still in it left guard second down and six to forte keep rivers over Bengal a giant a yard shy of the market and that to me is one of the scary things about this offense when you have the vertical threats down the field and then all of a sudden you're able to slip Matt Forte out underneath on a check down route or a little crossing route with open space around him in a one-on-one situation Cutler start of the game five of five through the pick on the Bears last try [Applause] her down I want [Applause] has a first down up down by Preston Brown but the Bears but allowed to change with under four minutes remaining second quarter here in Chicago PAP's lost it trying to walk it off Michael all out positive left guard nothing there this corner number on first out steps up and is taken down at the 46 loss to the yard on the play as we head to Los Angeles for a game break Joel clap Joel okay let's go down to Miami where Tom Brady is awful happy to have this guy back Rob Gronkowski all the time in the world in the pocket drunk in the end zone and the Patriots are up 17 7 over the Miami Dolphins back to you Kenny moose and goose all right thanks Joel second down at 11 following the sack by the expatriate Brandon Spikes what it quick release and the catch is made inside by Marshall I agree with Tony I think right now Chicago needs to get into more of a rhythm and strikes and more balance get that run game it's an area that the Bills struggled in last year defensively do they have that resolved under Jim Schwartz their new defensive coordinator Marc Trestman right now I think Jay Cutler's got a lot of freedom this his second year in this offense understands it a lot more I think on the line a lot more freedom there [Applause] her down at four short intended for Marshall illegal use of the hands after the pace number 63 offence that penalty is declined Roberto gar is on the right side right there see that hand on that face man I don't even try bears will Potts following the two-minute warning today's came out Fox is sponsored by iTunes follow your favorite team all season long go to iTunes dot-com slash NFL 1774 the Buffalo Bills here in Chicago Patrick O'Donnell at the park for the second time protection ball bounced away attention able to recover who would have thought this today Kenny EJ Manuel didn't leave his starting offense for a touchdown drive against opposition starters the entire preseason and look at those numbers compared to Jay Cutler he's got some pretty good numbers in so that one interception I know he'd love to have that ball back at the miscommunication I don't know if it's if it's on junior on Martellus Bennett but EJ Manuel I pretend and he's got a rushing touchdown to go along with it the bell stuck but they're 15-yard line ahead of confection today Dex finally taken down at the Bears 40 dard line as Dixon goes for 47 all right here we go it's the zone read watch the job by the offensive line double down Lance Briggs goes to the outside he vacates his spot he takes EJ Manuel thinks that he's pulled the ball and gone outside and anthony Dixon goes right into that vacated gap [Music] Vargas rock prediction where his five-year career CJ spiller stellar finding his way down to the 36 yard line data for and really I really liked what EJ Manuel when he told us and as he looked at everything one of the things even wanted to get better at the zone read felt he didn't do a good job in that last year some of the guys he talked to Russell Wilson Colin Kapernick gap that makes sense Nick Foles how about Nick Foles he checks in with him on his own read because he gets four yards and gets down though she is their first time out what's coming up on the beach at halftime report Curt Menefee coming up on the visa halftime we'll check in on gruff down in Miami AJ Green looks for a big day in Baltimore and big bad on the Steelers will post the Browns will check in on them and more all right thanks Curt will it fall to it so the bills start this drive of their 13 yard line but they get the bedrock kitchen and still have two timeouts romantic now you're thinking about CJ spiller Fred Jackson and it's anthony Dixon that breaks off the big run can deepen your by the bears 36 now a late flag is thrown after the play [Applause] what's up Scott Chandler - tight end there's number 84 right there the middle of your screen locked up with Tim Jennings kinda riding a fried num ride them now look at all the defensive guys I said right there Stephen Paea is lucky he didn't get one for being the second guy in now scotch Anna that's part of the game and he just finishes his block I don't know if that was beyond the whistle now but Stephen Paea is lucky they did not set that with this show coming off the sideline [Applause] Charles Tillman it's right there to make the tackle so now the bills will pump it away 47 seconds remaining at Chicago with all three timeouts again we've seen it on both sides of the ball I agree with coach Trestman that you know it's it's about fundamentals and technique and discipline there's that word discipline Scott Chandler's got to be disciplined not to give up the great field position that was created by that long run by acting anthony Dixon Michael Spurlock veteran of eight NFL teams back deep for the Bears hope you spent back to pot for the first time a lot budget and take some pills bounce stays out of the end zone and it is doubt by Duke Williams great start for the bills they lead by 10 [Music] thirty-six seconds remaining second corner there's take over at their own seven trailing by 10 come out here a couple running plays kill this clock get in at halftime and let's reevaluate we've got to find out what happened after that opening drive offensively when we were firing on all cylinders and we've stumbled since that point there's went for plays 66 yards for a touchdown on opening drive the last 17.6 and the Buffalo Bills suffered through nine straight losing seasons kickoff weekend here in 2014 take a 17-7 lead into the locker room for head coach Doug Marrone at halftime [Applause] Bill's capitalizing on to Chicago turnovers including the interception thrown by Jay Cutler just an impressive opening by the Chicago Bears offense right down the field this how the game starts finished off by Martellus Bennett and then the bills hit their stride a great Drive kept the Bears defense off-balance EJ Manuel with the touchdown and Corey gran eyes on the quarterback the whole time hits the interception great field position and I like the aggressive football right there the first play after the turnover to CJ spiller bills storing ten points off the two Chicago Bears turnovers in the second quarter now remember the Bears the FIR to start the game so Chicago will get the ball first in the second half and I'd like to see them come out and just get back into some traditional run offense with some play Occident they've got the weapons on the outside we know about it but Jay Cutler talked to us about this offensive line but it doesn't want to play behind anybody else instead obviously they're big physical guys and can change the line of scrimmage holed up in protection but the communication is great I don't think we've seen enough of what they can do in the run game and it's an area that the bill struggled in last season this is Jim for Jim Schwartz his first time this season with this defense in the bills let's find out if they understand their fits and their gaps and everything that goes along with that run defense for the Buffalo Bills we know they're great at rushing the passer so let's not continue to play to their strengths the whole time Tim Schwartz very familiar with the Bears last five seasons head coach Detroit beat Chicago twice last year terrific first half for EJ Manuel to Bill's second-year quarterback 10 of 12 97 yards the touchdown and a rushing touchdown Emanuel as well as a key number the two turnovers on the Bears side leading tubes Bill's points in the second quarter kickoff weekend here at Soldier Field in Chicago with the bills leading the Bears by the score of 17 7 [Music] [Applause] second half underway in Chicago Bears will start from their 20-yard line trailing by 10 I really think they need to get out in this opening drive and establish the run build off the play action I you wonder if things came too easy form on that opening drive Kenny it was so methodical four plays right down the field obviously the big splash prayed to all Shaun Jeffrey on the outside and now all of a sudden they kind of get on a rhythm Jay Cutler put up some good numbers the interception a big turning point but I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Marc Trestman was talking to his offense at halftime to see what the approach is going to be R we apologize to those of you who may have missed the second half kickoff this is the first play from scrimmage Bill's leading 17-7 fair stolen out started left guard mounts lawsuit now if the active entry has returned this questionable replaced by Michael Ola as Cutler fires free of that slipped at a chance for a peck Jerry Hughes coming from the defense of Brighton position he impacts the throw by Jay Cutler look at that lien working against Martellus Bennett in a situation like that you've got to have some help that's a lot to ask from Martellus Bennett somebody's got to know that that's a that's a matchup that favors the bills defense right there you're talking about a guy coming off the edge you had ten and a half sacks last season going one-on-one with your tight end new center for Chicago here in the second half as well the former Saint Brian De La Puente is in for a rental car substantial changes on the offensive mods the catch is paid by all Sean Jeffrey but Calvin the tackle Garza likes Lawson out with an active entry his return is questionable well when Matt's Lawson got hurt he actually was in contact with Roberto Garza you wonder if they both got hurt on that same play the only team back of offensive linemen are in the game for Chicago as we take you back to the second quarter injury suffered by Slauson and perhaps cars as well on the same flight an offensive line that played together all of last season here in the open are already having some issues the former super bowl MVP makes the catch his first as a bear for Chicago first down and wait till he has the opportunity to really kind of understand exactly what it is trust means wanting to do with this offense explosive as it was last year now you add Santana Johan Santana Santonio Holmes to the mix their score their touchdown on their opening possession from the 37 or take any 542 freshman prom made the tackle adding Matt Forte needs to be a bigger contributor in the second half here we told you about the respect that Jim Schwartz has for him he can do it as a receiver out of the backfield as a run around of the backfield I'd lean on him a little bit more here in the second half Kenny well Sean Jeffrey that it worked out as well [Applause] something out of nothing and Martellus panic picks up a first down at Mills territory Matt Forte is going to recognize this blitz a little bit late you're going to see the pressure come from here on the outside he's going to go up inside then he bails out late jay cutler has to step up it's just a heady play how many times have we seen Jay Cutler do that takes a plane that looks like it's going to be a big negative for the offense and turns it into a positive now Geoffrey jogging on the Bears sideline Josh Morgan's went wide to the left inferred Alshon Jeffrey play clock and one bears get the snap away his forte on the slain for tax affairs first down jumped out of Alps by McElveen happy buffaloes 30 guard line 18 yards for Forte Brian De La Puente the center does a nice job here whoever we talked about early in the first half just throw on those screens just give it a shot on the outlet space get your defender off of his feet he's going to get out into space all the advantages on the defensive player so you throw you get him elevated and now you're running back the person in the screen has an opportunity to make a move on the defender and get to the sideline geoffery back to the game for chicago the DS tally in the backfield from the 30 quick release its Brandon Marshall [Applause] and it is tackled by Arius win after a gain of three that's good hustle by Jarius win he's going to come from your left defensive end recognizes it gets to the outside Josh Morgan with the block there Brandon Marshall is about ready to break this and have the sidelines and there's your pursuit from the defensive end good hustle to get down the line of scrimmage all Sean Jeffrey back in at the bottom there's a guarded seven [Applause] oh there is a flare holy gonna be that's second year corner out of USC it must have happened before that because you see the fly coming in so at any point you grab some Jersey you're going to get that flag thrown it was a point of emphasis throughout the preseason pass Jim Schwartz pointed out to us yesterday Robi has the perfect first name is Mikkel and IC ke LL and he is the nickel defender in a secondary I know you enjoyed that play on words I did any come to 22 okay immediately by huge addition the pills defensively yeah a really big addition when you've got Eric wood who's the the Center for the Buffalo Bills who's played against Brandon Spikes when he was with the Patriots and it is very very excited to have him be a teammate and you know you go all the way back he said you know we haven't really had a guy that controlled the middle and been that physical run stopper since London Fletcher was with the Buffalo Bills back early on in his career and that's what taya Williams called us yesterday and spike Springs playoff experience playing the super ball for the Patriots cousin takeo of course a killer Buffalo Bill second cousins second down and 11 [Applause] the intended receiver rivers AMA coverage there you go this is one of the things that Matt Forte can do for you're going to be able to get him in some mismatches and then get him down the field against a linebacker Keith Rivers man for men Matt Forte hasn't beat a little bit of contact there didn't get his head all the way around but look at the hand right in to kind of muddle that up a little bit right as the ball Rives now third down and 11 tenth play of the drive Michael Spurlock in for Jeffrey look lie to the left [Applause] Marshall in the slide her down and 11 numbers pants off the hands of Spurlock well the Bears will set out the field goal unit Bobby called the veteran second leading scorer in Bears history working with a rookie holder Joe Donald and the new long snapper

leading receiver at Clemson bears trading for bills trading a number perforce want to select sandy Watkins seven receiver set bills must get to the 30 for the first down as the catch is made at the 40 yard line by Mike Williams the Buffalo native former Tampa Bay buck for Doug Marrone and Syracuse a gain of 16 coming from the outside Mike Williams and this is that play we saw in the first half that deep in round and I tell you this is a nice completion because third and long in that situation the Bears take the opening drive go down the field get that field goal to get points if all of a sudden

your route is coming off this bunch and he's going to see it the whole time and he's going to jump it he Jay Manuel has to understand in this situation it's a dead play don't make the throw don't create the turnover trying to run for it throw it away punt the ball give the Bears the longer field but don't try and force that in there punt the ball Prescott not him you know not too much maligned during the offseason after a play late in a season finale against Green Bay last year he said I expect to hear the boos well did you see the cheers following that Forte picks up a Bears first out I think that's why you saw the reaction of Chris Conte out to that play just like EJ Manuel's got some people to prove wrong this year with his play quarterback Chris Conte for the Bears here at safety much maligned as you pointed out Kenny last year late in the season and now you call talked about it Matt Forte leaned on him a little bit more that's exactly what these bears offense is doing right now wait welcome uh fellow 44 at first out before [Applause] was that InDesign clay there Darryl absolutely we're gonna put you guys into the same area and then I'm going to bounce it off the defender

you know late shoulder to the helmet some of the bills are trying to fight this one I don't see any reason why they wouldn't think that that's a penalty let's see what what the Bears in Jay Cutler do here Kenny he talked about that that then linebacker now [Applause] busting chats on the eleven three receiver set homes in the slot [Applause] that's the catch Rev touchdown there is a plan it's against the girls [Applause] that's what I've been advantage does a nice job just leave it right up in the air about Brandon Marshall now Oh a little slip there - that's it grab right there you paddle

be seen tune in tomorrow for a Monday Night Football double-header [Applause] the offensive coordinator for the bills 170 airbrushing 107 yards passing almost equal plays rubbing 18 yard line this is Spiller [Music] and if just one will Sutton along with Lily young really starting to see the difference in the way the defensive line is going to play this year Tony we talked with Paul Pass quality the defensive line coach Mel Tucker we're not turning our shoulders we're not just appending training because we're going to control with balance in that front keep our shoulders square control that blocker fill that gap it's been tough for the bills to run that that blocker fill that gap it's been tough for the bills to run they've broken a couple long ones but much improved from last year up into this point second down a guide star picks up the first down out across the 30 Ryan Bundy finally made the tackle gain of 11 I've never compliment anybody again juice that's it something I say go ahead rip rip attain yard runoff that's gonna happen that's gonna have it but no you're I think you're exactly right well did you get that zone blocking sometimes you're lulled to sleep with the defensive lineman and you've got to change it up you gotta penetrate you got to go and identify what the play is pretty game snap and changeup what you're doing but you can't let the offensive line dictate how you play the game [Applause] Kothari right back to stomach I know we talked about Tim Jennings and Charles Tillman in coverage but I don't think we give him enough credit you know as defenders in the run game how that was Tim Jennings right there with CJ Spiller coming you know they do a really nice job of being that hand man on the line with run responsibility making sure that play doesn't wind all the way back to the outside and there's Tim Jennings going after the ball we all know about the Bears creating turnovers attacking the ball that's what you're supposed to do after the attention of the backfield 47-yard rot earlier record out in five this is good up to know [Applause] one of the things about the play calling by the builds it's really put them in in manageable third down situations this third and three here we you know they've alas the majority of the time here you see the difference right there just a little over six to go during the course of this game you just got to be careful in a situation like this play action really comes in [Applause] now the play is blown dead [Applause] false start [Applause] Sammy Watkins rookie mistake there you're on the outside you should ever be flagged for a false start done Ron's not happy about this I got to talk to him before really for some almost [Applause] which I get play clock why did to call timeout there's and it looks like they were awarded that time out [Applause] so bad it will over to the sidelines and will be third down and eight well they overloaded the pressure to the offensive left side spread Jackson number 22s is able to get that timeout Paul this is this is a critical third down here the point that Tony makes you know we talked about the ability to stay in a manageable third down situation that that fault started by Sammy Watkins on the outside you keep your eyes on the football you should never be influenced by a defensive player coming into the formation into those eight gap areas that get you to move on the outside and all of a sudden it becomes third and eight much more difficult to convert for the Buffalo Bills and this is critical the Chicago Bears have dominated this quarter this is where taluk chatter now we haven't heard much from today this is here to Chicago let's see what he does third Avenue here comes Jared Allen little steps up his head as he throws and there is a flag it's a halt against the bells penalty is to climb Buffalo will pumped it away [Applause] gerrae now there's a nice job on the outside here they put the back to his side also ghost sweeps the arm keeps coming around to where the quarterback usually sets back in the pocket draws the penalty and that's just as good enough he's off the field that's what he's brought in to do with the pressure on the quarterback and stop the run sometimes true right now yeah I'm got to do that first right can't rush Patrick let's just slow it down that run Jared Allen has never won a game here at Soldier Field oh and six as a visiting player Skol for the 14 yard line by number 14 Santonio Holmes well did you ever think of you're in charge the world would be a better place this both Fox is giving 15 people the chance to prove it by building their ideal society from scratch utopia witnessed the birth of a brave new world tonight of 8:00 7:00 central on Fox now goose people can be removed from the show and new people can be added right so a lot being to get in to listen to you talk petitioning I'm trying to get in there I would like to go and build something build something to build something [Applause] first and 10 14 yard line okay Aria Williams made the tackle bills without linebacker Keith Rivers groin injury has been ruled out and for the cago bears still without that's Lawson with a left guard Roberto cars in their starting center replaced by Michael Ola and Brian De La Puente I'm winding down here in quarter three second down and seven whenever he fumbled earlier this is a little bit incomplete pants never had control seven seconds remaining it'll be third down and seven and let's see if he ever establishes control bobbled right there here comes the contact then he gets bent awkwardly backwards and we watched these at super slo-mo and as the replay comes up you see that leg Bend gosh we've all Sean Jeffrey into the locker room - offensive line that you mentioned boos now Brandon Marshall coming off the field gingerly he's a competitor looks like he wants to go right back out in that situation a lot of times we'll see that in super slo-mo I think when Brandon Marshall was coming off he wanted them to get it they're gonna slow it down that slack just came out he was important white respite to challenge that it was in fact a reception we've talked over the last couple of years about the process yes of the catch possession two feet down and then the ability to make that play comment in a game but but the the one here is as we slow it down to watch it in super slo-mo now his knee is down is it does does that knee get down before that ball comes out and we're watching in slow motion now the officials are going to try and watch it at the game speed to see it and remember this season for the first time the game referee will consult with the vice-president of officiating d-plan Dido back in New York at the arc McNally gameday central the command center in New York City sir it is right there so they've already been in the process of reviewing this so look at the arc McNally gameday central room in Manhattan as we check in with Mike Pereira in Los Angeles Mike great to be back for another season with you and what did you see on that last play well I tell you described it pretty well first of all the contact came right when he got controlled the bobble now he's headed toward the ground and the ball comes loose you know again they ruled it incomplete on do you have enough to say that he actually committed the second act or the the move after he got control he turns here by way of the contact but then is knocked to the ground the beauty not I mean I really think that they'll stay with the call in the field because it's pretty close but the beauty of this thing is you just showed New York and I was there a couple of weeks ago this has been a great system so far that we've seen today the decisions have been fairly quick and and and really they haven't overturned anything unless there was absolutely conclusive evidence and again we look at this one their decisions they're gonna have to make is once he got control to speed down did he perform an act like turn a field what you saw the beginning of a turn there I still say this is one of those close enough where I'd stay with the call on the field but will remain remains to be seen all right thanks Mike so it's the first review to the NFL for Brad Allen who was a referee and the Atlantic Coast Conference he's the first rookie NFL official to break in at the referee position since nineteen now the fans react is granted Marshall let's back out onto the field [Applause] here comes Brad Alan after review the runner was down by contact Chicago is nachos we'll be pushed down in ten so give branded Marshall the assist for imploring his head coach Marc Trestman to challenge the play that's pretty good composure I mean you've you've been been awfully back you're probably hurt a little bit you have the presence of mind to know that that you feel that you had your meet down with possession of the ball before it came out so it's a reception for Marshall a first down for the Bears we've got to get some of the mechanics clean the marshal must sit out and play because he was injured and the medical staff came out so he is not eligible to return for the next play Marshall must sit out one-ply it's a new set of downs to the beds as the officials why the clock and the third quarter will come to an end I tell you get to the fourth quarter can the stuff a lot of stuff going on but after all bad teams will change sides tide heading to the fourth Bill's and bears tied at 17 as we start the fourth quarter here in Chicago [Applause] first in 10 25 yard line to toss to Forte wrapped up my auntie lost sit back of the 22 and if you're seeing Brandon Marshall in there and wondering hey didn't he just have to sit out of play because we changed at the quarter right there without that play being run it buys him back into the lineup so the end of the quarter bought Brandon Marshall back into the lineup so he did not have to sit out one play Marshall with seven receptions today including a third quarter touchdown here we go 377 shut it down the club but there's some talk to flips off towards the Bears sideline yeah if that didn't look good right there because as soon as he went to push off that leg to elevate to make that catch you could see him pull up Brenda Marshall coming on the far side of that bunch formation coming across underneath and you can see right as he went to push off he pulls up and jocks to the sideline [Applause] we're down a club just stepped up that's rather footpath school and he died put his about three yards short cargo will puffed it away we head to Los Angeles for a game break old clamp by Kenny let's head to Atlanta and the Falcons have come all the way back Matt Ryan dumping it off to his running back Antone Smith who takes it the distance 54 yard touchdown catch and the Falcons are up by 420 420 on the Saints dr. Chicago KD Muhsin goose my thanks Joel we are tied at 17 early fourth quarter Patrick O'Donnell we'll put it away the notice McElveen [Applause] across the 35 the bills will take over a tall fence early fourth quarter on the road dígame today's game on Fox is sponsored by the new Cricket Wireless something to smile about by the red TV if you call yourself a sports fan you've got to get to rectangle and my part line who reminds fans to state of the game and drink responsibly bears and Bill's deadlocked at 17 early fourth quarter [Applause] EJ Manuel hundred sixty one touchdown one rushing touchdown as well Jacob the 25 of 33 he's thrown for two scores now but really is the big thing this game is it really back to the offensive side of the ball for the Chicago Bears to see how that impacts Jay Cutler down the stretch here in the fourth quarter it started field position there is a flag if sports to the outside by Kyle for the lucky out of Virginia Tech it's against Buffalo holy little update on Brandon Marsh so they got him over the sidelines that cut his tape off their work on today a little bit so they're gonna retake it [Applause] there's the whole Kris Williams by the Barons air horn CJ's Florida continued all the way to the sideline [Applause] I left a long time Dallas Cowboy baby tackle that's why I was such an impressive play by the Bears defense you've got to play fake then you've got to fake end around and then you're going to run a screen and all the Bears are just waiting there for [Applause] George left camp and he is not about couple yards shy of the markers so the bills will pumps it away it's a good play by Charles Tillman because EJ Manuel had Scott Chandler out in front of I was able to pick up one of the bear defenders on the sidelines but hustling across the field to make sure EJ Manuel didn't get that first down with Charles Tillman Santonio Holmes back deep for the pants [Applause] bears will start deep in their own territory when we return to Chicago [Music] both core in Chicago tied at 17 we're starting field position of the day for the Chicago Bears from their own six [Applause] [Applause] I thought Aaron Williams had good timing on this I also didn't think he came through the back of Martellus Bennett let's watch it number 83 just going straight up the scene but paranoia is going to come in from the right side you can see the collision but that's this will be a better angle for us and yeah he's there early good call by the official all seven penalties call this hand of God against Buffalo five of the seven have been accepted no Brandon Marshall no call Sean Jeffrey well you watch preseason games you talk to players and coaches teams don't show much in the preseason you never know what you're gonna get our opening day now we walk into the first week of the season we've got a lot of questions right now we've got Jacksonville head of Philadelphia we've got the Miami Dolphins a head of the New England Patriots the st. Louis Rams a team I think a lot of people thought would do well Minnesota is handling them right now we've got Buffalo in Chicago 1717 the questions we had the Bears defense and the progression of EJ Manuel pull some real big positive for each one of those so I get down at 3 Marshall has returned [Applause] a camp in his part Ellis Bennett is fifth perception today it's good for a Chicago Bears first down and Tony you and I have talked about this we talked about your Ravens defense in 2000 I've always been a guy who loves the explosive offense because you get off to a sluggish start and you're down ten points I think that confidence that Chicago will always have that there's no lead that's insurmountable in their minds because of the weapons that they have yeah they do have a lot of weapons defensively you know want to go out there and turn the ball over and give it to your offense and let them go and put some points on the board Martellus Bennett has another Faris first out into Mills territory she's been Matt Forte series right here well they've got to pick it up they've got to step up right here and help this team out because you know your big guys on the outside are not at 100% Martellus Bennett career-high 65 receptions a year ago a bit of a tumultuous camp and preseason suspended for slamming a teammate but he's a big part of this bears offense can't say Martellus without the multi [Applause] picks up the first down play better call it on Josh Morgan I think holding offense 19 10 yards from the spot of the foul first down correctos and you know what Martellus says about himself he says quote I'm a convertible I have no ceiling there's a lot of things usually you scratch your head sometimes I'll shot Jeffries still on the sidelines now with a hamstring injury his return his probable Brandon Marshall back out of field lifts off a couple of times early Santonio Holmes in the slot off the play fake [Applause] you're so worried about everybody getting to downfield vertical routes run and all of a sudden you slides Forte out you can slide Dante and Rosario out into the fly you're uncovered it's it's an easy 10 yard pickup barson out of the slot second down and one Forte's stopped short by Williams and on the tackle for the bill so we'll be bored and short for the Bears eight and a half remaining fourth quarter without their starting on the enacted by offensive lineman Garza and Schloss it and both started every game it seems it ago I'll shop Jeffery still on the sidelines as well [Applause] third down and one timeout is taken by Chicago now I like that time out of this this is a critical snap right here you're on that cusp of the long field goal situation if you're able to convert for this first down and continue this Drive take more time off that clock here in the fourth quarter so I like that that timeout call by Marc Trestman right there make sure you've got exactly what you want called on this third ashore it's about Forte's numbers we got them 62 on the ground goose five couches 57 there's another day at the office we have for today Hado coos there you go or taya the Bears facing a third down and one of the 34 yard line [Applause] gosh [Applause] traffic there's a flag the that's a defensive lineman's dream right there guys cozy gets it pursuit cutler rolls out and throws back and all of a sudden you find the ball right in your hands good job by the bills defense right here it's a good play fake they get the front moving but the coverage does a tremendous job everybody's covered when Jay Cutler gets out here on the edge and it's probably going to be called on Santonio Holmes for blocking downfield that's a basic line well horse-collar tackle number 15 capacity [Applause] it's Kyle Williams ninth season in the NFL that is his first career interception [Music] today's game is sponsored by KFC the world's best again the patty you KFC [Music] Buffalo Bills have hosted other Bears turnovers so they take over following the denial Williams picked first of his career that's what morning goose [Applause] this should have been horse powered by wide-receiver them that's right this is Robert woods into bears territory well the various issues in Buffalo Daryl have been well documented the ownership bid stadium issues no playoff games since the 99 season and we hit on it briefly earlier the controversy involving Doug Marrone over the past couple of weeks yeah it's been a it's been a bumpy preseason a lot of the reporters see they've seen a change in dark Marone kind of distancing himself and maybe a different personality this year than last year not having the open rapport with the media and Buffalo as much as he did and Spiller picks up a first down it was a teammate of yours at Syracuse University he was and I can tell everybody that that's in Buffalo Doug is the same person today that he was when I played with him back at Syracuse University and and he wears his heart on his sleeve he loves the game of football he loves the state of New York I grew up on Long Island he's a tough guy and you know he understands that there's a lot of pressure here there's a potential through new ownership is coming there's what's going to happen with the stadium he understands Rob Kazinsky being fired so we talked about the pressure DJ manual is also pressed on the ground since key fire Cleveland penalty assessed to the rookie right tackle chantrelle Henderson mollifying the Watkins reception and Charles Tillman late getting up but I really I really respect Doug Marrone as a coach I think he's changing the culture he's holding everybody accountable in Buffalo and we've seen it today you know there was a lot of questions about this offense coming on the road against the Chicago Bears here this afternoon and they've played ball that got themselves tied up here in the fourth quarter with six in a little over six and a half to go around the head coach at Syracuse before you sucking air with the pelts since James honest and works his way to the pears 35 yard line as we approach six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter here in Chicago on kickoff weekend we talked about the play call in the first half of the Buffalo Bills kind of kept Chicago off balance they they haven't been able to get that rhythm here established in the second half dr. Rowan and his guys have kind of struggled here Chicago really dominating second half of this game so far [Applause] those were committed seven in the second half [Applause] spectacular cat [Applause] I thought he elevated too soon Tony I didn't think he was going to be able to suspend in the air the way he did to make this catch coming from the slot he floated there for a little while I mean I thought he jumped too soon right here that's just tremendous concentration no.1 the big hit is going to come from Chris Conte he's exposed he's vulnerable with a safety lurking great finish by Robin works on a five yard pass flight [Applause] throws away [Applause] let's go back and take another look at this it looks like he's gone up too early and he just kind of hangs there and as he's coming down I mean the full extension and there you can see how he's exposed he knows that Chris Conte was in the area nice job holding on that ball Chris copy hit it a little bit but he held nothing against his body did that catch that's a big play right there second out of 10 good shot hand off diction is met by Jonathan Bostick flirting log up coming under five minutes remaining of the fourth looked as though EJ Manuel on that one should have should have pulled that on that zone read it on the outside to account for him [Applause] fans on their feet here at Chicago fir down a [Applause] down dumps it off it's Jackson and Tim Jennings brings him down at the 15-yard line five yards shy of the marker so the bills will send out the field goal unit timeout is taken by the Bears but I like this decision right here you've got an opportunity for points the Bears do a good job with coverage down the field check it down give Fred Jackson the opportunity to break a tackle and get the first down if not you put yourself in the position to attempt the field goal to take the lead EJ matters does a great job of going to get that ball also bad snap from Erick hood but kept it in play little things like that make a huge difference Doug Marrone chatting with the bills new backup quarterback the former Air Kyle Lord who was traded away from Chicago to Denver in exchange for Jay Cutler and Kyle Lord looking for the opportunity to get somewhere to work with the young quarterback and he knows that EJ Manuel last you missed some time the opportunity in his need to his career to get on the field he felt Buffalo was the perfect opportunity for him to come last year in Dallas 3 Rd chap dead earlier from the right hash Smith place it down carpenters kick is good so with just over four minutes remaining that soccer field the bills have gone back on top as they capitalize following the first interception of Kyle Williams nine-year career back in Chicago Bill's back on top they have scored 13 of their 20 points off turnovers they covered throwing two interceptions Brandon Marshall Bennett a turnover back in the first half and it's the bills by three well going back to what Marc Trestman said the opening week of the NFL season there's so many unknowns and it's really what you do how you control it being disciplined fundamentals technique these Baer turnovers have been their Achilles heel this afternoon so Jacob leaves the Chicago offense back out onto the field 28 of 37 two touchdowns two picks in our Chicago offense which averaged just over 28 points per game last season under Marc Trestman in his first year an opportunity with four minutes remaining now by three well this is why you build your team the way that Marc Trestman is building his team that have the opportunity to win offensively late in the game and Marshall in the slot they're stolen out all shot Jeffrey [Applause] four pairs first down he is very smooth in the open field he's got that style that looks like you glide there's only been one player that I've ever watched that that really has that ability and that's Gale Sayers where it just looks like everything is so effortlessly as he moves forward and Heat Gale Sayers is in the stadium today introduced to the crowd prior to the game able to come down at balance well we talked about Stephon Gilmore not being in the lineup today because of an injury and Corey Graham stepping and he has done a heck of a job he's got one of the interceptions that led to a touchdown for the bills and has played really really well all afternoon hard fall right there no more forceout rule that went away a couple of years back still waiting for that one situation where you carry the layer out of bed it's called catching carry we've never seen it know that we ever will never seen that radar that's true that's true let it down at 10 and his forte but he is by Brandon Spikes he's mean the intangibles of being in New England and knowing what what it takes to win a championship bringing that preparation that style here to the Buffalo Bills and then and then the ability to make plays like that what a great feel of seeing that develop hitting in the backfield and making the tackle third down and two three minutes remaining fourth quarter [Applause] bears must get to the 40 Hey it's Brandon Marshall / Chicago first down up to the 45 but there is a flag [Applause] one of these walk routes are won at the release very physical Brandon Marshall Leodis McKelvin but that's where the separation is gained on that release there's no file for offensive folding all the way so the flag has been picked up it's a Chicago first day under Jay Cutler Saturday franchise record it's his 10th 2003 more than anyone else any other quarterback at bears history Kyle Williams is furious Doug Marrone is too high I don't know if I have ever seen that before where an offensive holding penalty has been picked up that's what I'm talking about Doug Marrone with his heart on his sleeve that's what you're gonna get that old-school given the bass players thought was going to be called of the hands and scroll up its grab what's again on the coverage [Applause] so German Bushrod 74 working against Kyle Williams and he was the one that was upset oh you took the flag right in the dense mass right in the jaw her happiness never you had an agility jacket in ten in that field or Chicago over the middle of static [Applause] plus with first down stop just short as the clock continues to run the approach two minutes remaining third down that about a half yard for the Bears [Applause] that's a lot of play they've hit the two-minute warning in Chicago there's Braille by three Bay's a third and short letter return [Music] and Doug Marrone still trying to get an explanation of why that offensive holding was picked up really never got the explanation from the officials just said we're gonna pick up that flag and then play continues well the Bills have capitalized on all three Bears turnovers Buffalo scoring 13 points off takeaways and they lead by three two minutes remaining fourth quarter bears facing a third down and one probably the truest statement we've heard all weekend visiting with the Bears and the Bills was what Marc Trestman talked to us about and the week one opener there's so much unknown the opponents not going to show things we haven't showed things so how do you react to that unscaled look what you haven't seen on film the way you do that is make sure you're you're fundamentally sound your technique is great and you're very disciplined in those turnovers which are the difference are the result of not following that procedure [Applause] the toshka for Chang [Applause] first down 39 I like that call you know it's 30 short and you know sometimes a lot of people say let's get downhill I'm the other way let's get outside you've blocked down from the outside you pulled your mom Bushrod out and you give the ball to Matt Forte and you don't have to go in a straight line all the time to have that shortest distance to the other point there's 12 by 3 they have one time ooh five for Jay to pick up about five or six extra yards you should probably go and find where he is and covered try and take him out of the game cuz right now he's just taken home with this coordinate right yeah and J Carlos seems to know exactly where he is in every checked out if it's not available downfield he knows exactly where 22 is supposed to be as a checked down outlet port a PEC top 11 [Applause] to this mix Forte what's a name's nine more yards for the bills 19th I mean if they're gonna give it to you just keep throwing to talk I mean he's the guy that you want to have the ball in this situation right now [Applause] 37 yards on this drive alone for bad Forte [Applause] check again and water no flash Grahame on the coverage similar to a play we saw earlier in the game that was called pass interference but again both players have their eyes back they're looking at the ball they're making a play contesting the point of the catch it's a good no-call by this crew what Cory Graham has done a heck of a job stepping in for Stefan Gilmore gilligan against many of his former teammates purge out at one who was intended for homes again it is Graham on the covers for the bills of the Bears will send out the field goal unit to try and tie this game this is man-to-man coverage you are all by yourself with the game on the line working right here you can see why Jay Cutler is upset with the way they're calling the game this year that could have been illegal contact beyond the five yards here is Robbie cold hit from 40 water earlier this will be a 37 yard attempt he's made 16 in a row here it's 30 seconds remaining has tied the game at 20 [Applause] [Music] well kickoff weekend Darrell you talked about some of those other games the Browns have come back to tie the Steelers Eagles have tied up the Jaguars same story here in Chicago yeah it's been a great game and you know you get here you have an idea what you think you've read everything you've watched your film you're preparing for the game and then you come here and you meet with the Bears and you feel good about their chances then you meet with the bills and you feel good about their chances and then you come here and watch the game and it's been as entertaining as we hope that would be and the questions that we had at the top you know what does the Bears defense going to be like that they make enough for the right changes in the offseason how is EJ Manuel gonna play in his second year being healthy and I think there's positives on both sides I think for the Bears fans this this defense has played well I think the linebacker level in the safety level which were really kind of the two big question marks coming in have done a nice job EJ Manuel has has taken a good first step here in opening weekend in 2014 so I think there's a lot of positives for both fan bases to be excited about America's game of the week coming up following the bills and the Bears most of you will see the kick boys 49ers we are tied at 20 here in Chicago bills with two timeouts remaining interesting you see whether their approach will be right this time I would expect them to to run the football and get into overtime and take your chances there I don't want to make a mistake here with Robbie Cole thinking for the Bears he's got he's got a big leg dark maroon will be happy with the effort his team has put forth at this point and take his chances in overtime okay Cindy we're gonna sit so on kickoff weekend we are headed for overtime here in Chicago bill scored 17 consecutive points in the first half after falling behind seven nothing bears tie the game at 17 in the third quarter and carpenter 33 yard field goal with just over 4 minutes remaining in the fourth to give Buffalo the lead and then Robbie Gould tied it moments ago though a reminder both teams will have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once during overtime unless the team that receives the opening kickoff scores on a touchdown or if there is a safety during that opening drive and each team receives two timeouts at all replay reviews are initiated from the booth if they are still tied after 15 minutes of all the time it goes in the books as a time you will now play one over time team will have the opportunity to possess the ball four states or the touchdown position to be defensive school okay replay is upstairs each team has three corner copy rule we understand all the tails and it is heads [Applause] so Jay Cutler and the Bears will have the first opportunity in overtime on kickoff weekend over time in Chicago Bears and bills tied at 20 Buffalo scored 17 unanswered points earlier bills 13 points off three Chicago turnovers Bears lost a couple of offensive lineman new injury mats Lawson down Roberto Carson doors Perry will not bring it out so the Bears shake upper we'll start from their own 20-yard line here at overtime Jake cover would some some big numbers 33 or 46 for 346 and two touchdowns but those two interceptions the first two Martellus Bennett Cory Graham intercepts leads to a touchdown for the Buffalo Bills the second thrown back into the middle of the field with them in buffalo territory Kyle Williams with the interception so a couple of costly mistakes the terror deceptions led to ten bells points Braille receivers to the left first down again a 15 the other thing Tony we talked about his production but just the conditioning I mean he's got to be consistent in tremendous shape now here we are going into overtime the opening week of the season and he's just he looks like it's the first quarter yeah well preseason you know guys like this never really get an opportunity to go and exactly oh you know King and really no cage good shape you're in but obviously isn't pretty to change anything from the 33 on first down fires downfield looking for homes no flags McElroy beyond the coverage coming out of the slot area stride for stride Santonio Holmes in the Cal Roby [Applause] remember the pears have been without al saud Jeffrey without five receptions earlier in the game Jeffrey on the sidelines marshal of the slot second down and ten over the tops of Bennett and is better be fully six yard line to save cats today which ties a career-high pairs now facing a third down and seven the precedent Brown has played a nice game this afternoon we've mentioned Kiko Alonso out hurt hurt in the off season this year Nigel Bradham a one game suspension so Preston Brown pressed to the service today and it's done a nice job program picked out of Louisville third down and seven for the Bears first possession in overtime [Applause] the onus McElveen pairs will pump it away pressure coming from jay cutler's right side he's going to slide to his left a little bit you see Santonio Holmes at the bottom of your screen working one-on-one so a little bit of duress he throws that down there yeah he threw that Woodall arm his feet were going backwards well opportunity for a big one there from the Otis McElveen McElveen back deep for the pills the sidelines you did a photographer hit the camera no opportunity for a return so it is now sudden-death Buffalo Bills on offenses Dixit lips off I guess we're gonna see this time good this Chicago Bears defense is right now Daryl but these are the two question marks we had coming in you were gonna watch Jared Allen I was going to watch EJ Manuel in the offseason for Bears fans how much better than our defense get four bills fans is EJ Manuel going to take that next step in year two and here it is right here for the taking hope both sides Stiller comes to the outside let's up a first down and bodily forced out of bounds by Chris Conte Spiller picks up 14 yeah and they gave up contained to the left CJ spiller you have to understand how dangerous he is Jared Allen down at the bottom right here he's going to get turned inside and then Charles Tillman comes inside right there number 33 instead of coming off the edge to secure it pass contain allow CJ spiller to get outside that Jared Allen's got to go up and press that corner get up the field a little bit blew his head back inside we gonna hit that bubble of the megavision for your linebackers [Music] but the 35 on first down and slow it not much picks up one setting up second down and nine this would be a huge confidence boost for EJ Manuel in this situation take that next step in the trust between his receivers make a big play here down the field [Applause] there's territory for a buffalo first down at the Chicago forty for a 19-yard completion yeah you're throwing the ball up the seam and Mike Williams is gonna go get it now here's the guy that makes all the difficult catches now you know Chris Conte is sitting there and he's zooming in right on you you go up you make the catch you can see Mike Williams he's already located Chris Conte he gets that ball secure takes the hit holds on battle second overtime game of the NFL lost to Atlanta last December this is Jepson through the 49 brigade of five pounded it down the field this is what we saw early in this game Darrell and I like I like to play call and I like keep it on the ground short passes and go [Applause] we welcome those of you who have just joined us today Albert Darrell Johnson Tony Siragusa in Chicago we are in all the time pairs and bills tied of 20 protection by tray stains on his feet heat that is just shy of a go on do this a monster run by French accent on this play and a tremendous finish at the end of the run an opportunity to get him early this into the whole now he's into the open field great walking up front now watch the finish here the stiff arm a 48-yard run by the oldest running back to the National Football League Fred Jackson it all replays go up to the booth here so they're trying to take a look whether this ball went over or inside the pylon for the touchdown looks like it's outside the pylon now to look like Jackson's he came down just shy of the goal line as we take one more look all reviews it over time our booth reviews Bill's I've taken a timeout [Music] we'll be first and goal for puffle from a one-yard line I don't even know why you do this I don't know why you just don't kick a field goal right here Kenny good point once are going to try and slide it into the middle that is exactly what each a manual does so now Dan carpenter will hit from 15 and 33 yards earlier in the game now to attempt the game-winning field goal for the Buffalo Bills on the road in Chicago Schmidt will place it down we'll be a 22-yard attempt [Applause] look like the bells took too much time delay game to cuddle man now this will force Buffalo five yards back bears won the toss first possession it over time to watch the fight now it is carpenter from 27 yards away [Applause] well as place down carpenters kekambas good Bill's have come in to Chicago kickoff weekend and they stunned Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears the bills win it by the score of 23 20 and that that's the right word Kenny they stunned the Chicago Bear is it you know a team that we knew what their offense was capable of we were we were questioning how good their defense would be what role they would play this season and and they play well this this afternoon that had some issues but really the offense for the Bears on an afternoon on opening weekend where the mistakes can really bother you too many critical mistakes by that Bears offense so the Pels win it now to Atlanta overtime Falcons
