After making a few defensive upgrades in the offseason, the Chicago Bears have been a trendy pick to make a lot of noise in the NFC this season.

More from Buffalo Bills

Expectations are obviously high and that’s why they couldn’t have been happy when the Bears fell behind 17-7 at the half in their season-opening game against the Buffalo Bills.

With the home fans growing somewhat restless, the Bears have been much better in the second half.

They started the half by going 57 yards in 11 plays and got a 41-yard field goal from Robbie Gould. Then, on their next possession, the Bears went 56 yards in just five plays capped by an 11-yard pass from Jay Cutler to Brandon Marshall, who made quite the effort to get into the end zone.

You can see Marshall’s touchdown below.
