2019 Chicago Bears Week 2 Report Card vs. Denver Broncos
Okay, this was definitely the ugliest win in the Matt Nagy era, and probably one of the ugliest wins in the 100-year existence of the Chicago Bears’ franchise. However, a win is a win, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks to the effort of the defense, and the accuracy of the kicking game, the Bears were able to escape the Mile High City with a 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos.

Although it might have been a step up from last week, Chicago’s offense still struggled to move the ball downfield into the end zone. The offensive play calling was more balanced this time, but they only managed to churn out 273 yards of total offense and just one touchdown. On the other side of the ball, the Bears’ defense held the Broncos under 100 yards on the ground, and didn’t surrender a touchdown until Denver’s final drive of the game.
Most of the credit of this victory should be directed toward the special teams unit. With so much controversy surrounding the kicking game since last season’s playoff loss, Chicago’s kicker stepped up, proving to be clutch when it mattered most.
Even with this dramatic win, the Bears still find themselves at the bottom of the NFC North standings along with the Minnesota Vikings. Yes, things could be better, but things could be much worse. Let’s take a look at Chicago’s Week 2 report card.
