Recap Week 4 – Eagles Vs. Bears
The Bears started off the game sharp with a 19 yard touchdown pass from Kyle Orton to Greg Olsen. Orton ended up with 199 passing yards and a career high three touchdowns. Orton also managed to make all four of the Bears turnovers with two interceptions and two fumbles. Matt Forte ran for 43 yards on 19 carries and five receptions for 42 yards. Marty Booker and Devin Hester also got in the mix with Booker’s one catch for a 23 yard touchdown and Hester’s three catches for 27 yards and a touchdown.
The Eagles on the other hand weren’t the same without Westbrook and I’m sure they would contribute his absence to their loss. The starting running back, Correll Buckhalter, had 16 carries for 66 yards and two catches for 24 yards. McNabb threw for 262 yards with one touchdown and one interception. McNabb’s only touchdown went to rookie DeShawn Jackson in the first quarter.
The Bears went into the fourth quarter with the lead and finally managed to hold it. After two huge defensive stops at the goal line, the Bears walked away with a 24 to 20 win. It was a lot closer than many fans would like to have seen, but a win is a win.
The Bears will travel next week to Detroit to face the Millenless Lions.
