It wasn’t a pretty victory, but it was a victory nonetheless.
The Chicago Bears pulled out a 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos to clinch their first victory of the season off the right foot of kicker Eddy Pineiro.
Pineiro connected on a 53-yard field goal to lift the Bears to victory, his third field goal on the day. The former Florida kicker was a perfect 3-for-3 on the day, including kicks from 40, 52 and 53 yards.
Kyle Fuller came up with a clutch interception when the Bears needed one most. With the Broncos knocking on the door of the endzone, Fuller picked off Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco on the three-yard line, which halted a 74-yard drive by Denver.
After getting only seven touches in Week 1, rookie running back David Montgomery was fed the ball much more in Week 2. Montgomery had 18 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown, as well as one reception for six yards. He has the Bears’ lone touchdown of the season after Week 2 of the regular season.
Punter Pat O’Donnell had five punts for 287 yards, which was good enough for a 57.4 average. O’Donnell had a career-long punt of 75 yards before the end of the first half.
Who do you think was the MVP of the Bears’ 16-14 win over the Broncos?
