The performance of Chicago’s third phase was overlooked. Punter Pat O’Donnell placed one of his four punts inside the 20-yard line, and had an average of 46.0 yards per punt—including a booming 63-yarder. Kicker Cody Parkey connected on all three of his field goal attempts, and on both of his extra points. Cohen returned two punts, one of which was returned for 42 yards, giving the Bears good field position.
