by

The Arizona Cardinals took on the Chicago Bears Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium hoping to improve to 5-4 and win their third consecutive game. The Bears wished to bounce back from a last-second loss last week to Washington and pick up their first win on the road of the season.

The Bears entered the game down three defensive starters and their two top left tackles.

What would happen in the game?

Below are in-game updates that will serve after the game as its recap.

3-and-out to start

The Cardinals lost the coin toss and began the game on offense. After two rushes from James Conner, Kyler Murray’s throw to Marvin Harrison Jr. was broken up by Terell Smith.

1st NFL sack for rookie ends drive

The Cardinals forced a punt on Chicago’s first possession. It ended with Caleb Williams getting sacked by rookie Xavier Thomas and L.J. Collier. It was the first sack (half sack) for Collier as a member of the Cardinals and Thomas’ first of his career.

DeeJay Dallas hurt

Kick returner DeeJay Dallas injured his shin on the opening return. He limped toward the locker room and then sprinted back, but the team announced he was questionable to return. He returned to play on the team’s next punt.

Big Dortch punt return

After the Cardinals forced the Bears to go three-and-out, Dortch took the punt 27 yards to the Chicago 41.

Trey McBride TD! Cardinals 7, Bears 0

 

Trey McBride gave the Cardinals a 7-0 lead with a two-yard rushing touchdown. It was his second TD of the season but had not scored on a touchdown catch. It was his first career rushing touchdown to go with the recovered fumble for a touchdown earlier this season. Conner had a 15-yard run and McBride a 15-yard catch before the score.

Cardinals 7, Bears 3

The Cardinals survived a 43-yard pass to Rome Odunze on a blown coverage and an offsides penalty on third down that gave the Bears a first down, but they kept the Bears out of the end zone. Cairo Santos kicked a 29-yard field goal to get the Bears on the board.

Marv fumbles! Cardinals turn it over

Murray connected with Marvin Harrison Jr. for a 21-yard pass play to get past midfield, but he fumbled and Elijah Hicks recovered it and ran nine yards to the Arizona 46. They took over in Arizona territory.

Cardinals 7, Bears 6

The Cardinals allowed a first down but that was it and survive the turnover by giving up only a field goal. Santos made it from 53 yards.

Cardinals 14, Bears 6

 

It looked like the Cardinals would fail to score a touchdown for the first time on a goal-to-goal situation as they settled on a 32-yard field goal, but the Bears were penalized for leverage and gave Arizona new life. Trey Benson scored his first NFL touchdown on a one-yard run. He started the drive with a 17-yard and Conner added 46 rushing yards on the possession. After his run to the one-yard line, he was upended and was examined after the play.

Cardinals 14, Bears 9

The Bears got a third field goal of the half with 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter, another 53-yarder from Santos.

BIG Emari Demercado TD run! Cardinals 21, Bears 9

 

Demercado busted free for a 53-yard touchdown run with four seconds left in the half. The Cardinals appeared to be playing for a field goal to end the half. Murray completed a 12-yard pass to Demercado and then a five-yard pass to McBride. After a throwaway, on third down, Murray handed the ball off to Demercado, who went untouched 53 yards for the score.

Cardinals 24, Bears 9

After forcing the Bears to go three-and-out on the opening possession of the second half, the Cardinals drove the ball 69 yards and are up nearly eight minutes of the game and got a 29-yard field goal from Chad Ryland.
