Let’s go bullets with the rest of my first half notes:

• Nice sack by Jeremiah Ratliff to start the game.  Put the Dolphins behind the chains right off the bat. Good push by Houston alongside.
• Odd play calling with great field position on the Bears’ first series.  With third and short, they opted for a bomb to Jeffery.
• Dolphins come out with some read-option looks from Tannehill on second series.  Running right at Shea.
• McClellin fell down in red zone coverage to allow an easy pitch and catch to Charles Clay for the game’s first score.
• Bears offense looking really out of sync early in the game. Horrible lateral pass by Cutler to Ka’Deem Carey costs the Bears 10 yards and puts them behind schedule.
• Ratliff adds another sack to get 2 in the half. Willie Young and Lamarr Houston also having a strong half for the Bears defense.
• Ratliff with another sack for three in the first half.
• Caleb Sturgis pushes a 50-yard FG attempt wide right.
• Jay Cutler with another god-awful interception.  To make matters worse, the Bears offense is at bad at tackling as their defense, allowing a big Miami return.
