Early mistakes and costly turnovers led to the Chicago Bears dropping their season opener against the Buffalo Bills by a final score of 23-20 on Sunday afternoon.
The Bears got off to a hot start on offense, scoring on a four-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a 12-yard touchdown grab by Martellus Bennett from Jay Cutler. But after the opening drive, the offense stalled and did not score another touchdown until the middle of the third quarter.
They racked up 427 total yards of offense, but three turnovers ultimately led to the team’s loss.
Despite allowing 360 yards of offense, the Bears defense still gave the offense the opportunity to win the football game, but the offense came up short when it mattered the most.
The Bears will now head into Week 2 with a 0-1 record for the first time since 2009. They showed on Sunday afternoon they still have a lot of work to do on both sides of the football.
