I love to see simple concepts work on the gridiron.
Run the ball, set up the pass, punch it in from around the goal line.
That’s exactly what the Bears did on their last drive, getting on the scoreboard with a 1-yard plunge from David Montgomery on 3rd-and-goal.
Here it is, just in case you don’t believe me:

Frankly, I don’t blame you if you are in disbelief after watching that first half?
Montgomery’s score was set up by this HUGE 53-yard pass from Mitch Trubisky to Taylor Gabriel:

After watching Trubisky miss Gabriel on a big play last week, it was neat to see the two link up on a big play in Philly.
The Bears still trail 19-7, but at least showed some semblance of life on their first offensive drive in the second half.
