The Bears get back on track with a  win against a struggling Jaguars team.  Kyle Orton was 20 for 34 for 219 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT. Rookie Matt Forte had 106 total yards (69 rushing and 37 receiving).  Devin Hester had a good game with 5 receptions for 80 yards.   Both of Orton’s touchdown were to tight Ends Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark, He did get the ball to his wide receivers this game with 10 receptions to them, to go with 10 receptions to Tight Ends Olsen (3rec 52yds) Clark (2 rec 8yds) and Matt Forte(5 rec 37yds).

David Garrard was 19 for 38 with 1 Td and 1 Int.  The Jags rushed for 108 yards with the Leader Maurice Joens-Drew with 12 carries for 55 yards and 7 Receptions for 47 yards.  Jones-Drew was the leading rusher and receiver for the Jags.

The Bears controlled this game from the outset, and were never really in danger of letting it get away, although they did go through a lull in the 3rd quarter and beginning of the 4th where they got conservative and allowed the Jags to begin to creep back in as close as 10 points, but the Bears held the Jags scoreless over the last 12 minutes and 15 seconds of the game.  The Bears added a Robbie Gould field goal after a 7 play 58 yard drive which effectively ended the game.

The defense played well and started strong with Danieal Manning interception returned for 42 yards to the Jags 5, on their very first defensive series.  The Bears ended the game with 3 sacks, 1 Forced fumble and 1 Interception, not to mention that Garrad was hurried and knocked down all day long.  It was good to see the defense play with fire.

The Jaguars fall to 4-9 while the Bears go to 7-6 one game in back of Minnesota who escaped Sunday against the Lions for a win to stay one game ahead of The Bears in the NFC North.  The Jaguars, head to Green Bay (5-7) next Sunday while the Bears have a Thursday night home game against the New Orleans Saints(7-6).
