Linebacker Khalil Mack broke into a wide grin when it was pointed out the

Chicago Bears defense didn't need him for a second straight week."Ha Stephen Denmark Jersey Color Rush , I might be looking for another job here soon," Mack told The Associated Press.Sidelined by a right ankle injury, Mack had plenty of reason to joke.He had just finished watching his teammates force four turnovers, including two returned for touchdowns 3陆 minutes apart in the second quarter of a 41-9 rout over the Bills in what proved to be another comedy of errors for Buffalo's anemic offense on Sunday.Sandwiched between Jordan Howard's two touchdown runs, Eddie Jackson scored on a 65-yard fumble return and Leonard Floyd returned a tipped pass during Chicago's decisive 28-point second-quarter surge."It's always great to go out and perform the way we did," linebacker Roquan Smith said. "We definitely did focus on getting the ball out, and we knew when they do come, they come in bunches. So that was one of the main things."The only disappointment, perhaps, was becoming Buffalo's first opponent in three weeks to give up a Bills touchdown. It didn't happen until quarterback Nathan Peterman scored on a 1-yard run with 5:41 left.It was the first TD run the Bears have allowed this season, and it ended the Bills' touchdown drought at 187 minutes and 19 seconds 鈥?dating to Peterman's 16-yard pass to Zay Jones in a 20-13 loss at Houston on Oct. 14.The Bears, coming off a 24-10 win over the New York Jets Womens Stephen Denmark Jersey , won their second in a row and improved to 5-3 to match their best start to a season through eight games since 2013.And the Bears are winning without Mack, the 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, who was acquired in a trade from Oakland just before the start of the season.The Bills are going from bad to worse in losing their fourth straight, and dropping to 2-7 鈥?their worst record through nine games since a 1-8 start in 2010.Buffalo hasn't topped 10 points five times this season, and the four turnovers were one short of a season-worst. The Bills had five in a 37-5 loss at Indianapolis two weeks ago."I've never been on a losing streak like this," receiver Kelvin Benjamin said. "I'm frustrated now. I'm going to go home and be frustrated, but tomorrow once I come back in, try to brush it off my shoulders and get ready for the Jets."Peterman threw three interceptions in his first start since a 47-3 season-opening loss at Baltimore. The Bills had no choice but to return to the second-year player with rookie Josh Allen missing his third game with a sprained throwing elbow and Derek Anderson sidelined by a concussion.Peterman continued playing down to his turnover-prone reputation , though two of the interceptions weren't entirely his fault.Newly signed receiver Terrelle Pryor caught Peterman's pass and lost control as he turned up field, with the ball landing in defensive back Adrian Amos' hands.Three snaps into Buffalo's next possession, Peterman's hard pass over the middle struck Jones in the hand and bounced directly to Floyd, who returned it for a touchdown."I don't see anybody who's not trying to give it their all Stephen Denmark Chicago Bears Jerseys ," Jones said. "That's just the most discouraging thing about the whole situation right now is that the effort is there."But is the talent?Coach Sean McDermott responded defiantly when asked if the Bills have enough talent on offense to compete."I believe we do," he said.The Bills have been outscored 157-46 in their past six.Peterman finished 31 of 49 for 187 yards and the second-year player has now thrown 13 interceptions on 133 career attempts, including playoffs.Chicago's Mitchell Trubisky finished 12 for 20 for 135 yards with a 2-yard touchdown to tight end Trey Burton and an interception.QUIET McCOYBills running LeSean McCoy remains stuck in neutral, and didn't stick around to talk about an outing in which he managed just 10 yards rushing on 10 carries, and six days after he had 13 yards on 12 carries in a 26-5 loss to New England. McCoy, who declined interview requests this week, was spotted exiting the locker room before reporters were allowed to enter.TURNOVERSThe Bills have now turned the ball over 22 times, including 16 interceptions.The Bears entered the game ranking second in the NFL with 11 interceptions and 17 takeaways.INJURIESBears: TE Dion Sims was being evaluated for a concussion. ...

The Bears had a great opportunity to beat one of the best teams in the league today, with two of their key offensive weapons out of the game by the 1st quarter. Unfortunately, we saw some of the discouraging offensive struggles that made Bears fan panic at the beginning of the season. I’m not here to panic, but I am disappointed. This could have been a great momentum builder for a Bears team that has playoff talent but maybe not that level of confidence.Box ScoreA step backwards today for TrubiskyHe definitely got happy feet and was flustered by pressure. He did a good job at evading the rush, just not setting his feet to make a good pass or setting his brain to make a good decision. It seemed like there were as many rushed throws with bad mechanics as on-target ones from a solid platform. His completion percentage makes it look even worse than it was Chicago Bears Jerseys Stitched , since it includes several drops and throw-aways, but it also doesn’t acknowledge a couple throws that should have been picks. He still managed to sneak in some good passes and sound decisions.Then again, sometimes Biscuit’s happy feet have to make you smileThat 39 yard run was a thing of beauty—patience, vision, and speed. His scrambling ability has consistently proven to be an asset. Sure, sometimes he misses an opportunity for an open pass, but he usually grabs a first down and I’ll always be happy with that. He’s kept several drives alive and scored. It’s definitely working for my fantasy team.The formula is out on how to beat the Bears defenseJust through it to an athletic receiver, and let the Bears miss tackles. Last week Albert Wilson. This week Josh Gordon. I’m worried the league is catching on. Bilal Nichols continues to show off with limited opportunitiesHe got the first significant pressure on Brady. It was clearly a mistake by the Patriots O line, but not every DE can capitalize on that mistake and get to the quarterback instantly. But his forced fumble and recovery of Sony Michel was a huge moment for the otherwise underwhelming Bears defense.Roquan Smith’s block-shedding difficulties showed up earlyThe one knock on Roquan Smith has always been that he can be slow to shed blocks. It often didn’t matter in college because he was fast enough to get around them most of the time. It’s mattered the last two games. Ultimately, his coverage ability makes up for it, but these are two teams who will take advantage of your weaknesses.At first, it seemed like the Bears would have the special teams advantageA Cordarelle Patterson fumble recovery gave the Bears the first momentum of the game and made me very proud of our Beloved for besting Belichick in his prized 3rd phase. Then there was the return touchdown. Then the blocked punt. Oof.Sherrick McMannis proved again that he can perform in the slot when neededThe long-time special teams star has had a few opportunities to prove himself on defense Stephen Denmark Jersey 2019 , including Callahan’s injury today. He performed well in coverage and was an aggressive tackler. Khalil Mack earned himself plenty of attention from the Patriots, but not a lot of pressureIt’s hard to say how much his ankle is bothering him, but Mack hasn’t shown the same effect in these last two games. Commanding double teams is great, but we got used to him beating them as well. I’m not worried in the long run, but I’m missing the smoshery.Remember the Patriots didn’t punt last weekThis wasn’t an all-star performance from the Bears’ defense, but getting multiple stops against the Patriots offense is impressive on its own.The Bears didn’t play a great game today. There were plenty of mistakes in all three phases. A few important moments went their way and kept them in the game against a better-performing team. That’s not what you hope to see, but it’s nice to realize this team has enough talent to fight through some struggles and stay competitive with one of the best teams in the league.Ok. That’s a pretty lame consolation prize.Bears losing is the worst.
