- A leaping Brandon Marshall snares a second-quarter touchdown pass last night against the 49ers. He added two more TDs later.
Last week’s season-opening overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills put some Chicago sportswriters in full panic mode, no one more than Steve Rosenbloom of the Tribune. Rosenbloom declared that “the Bears’ season is over,” and added, “Raise your hand if you think the Bears could challenge for the No. 1 overall draft pick.”
During the first half last night, Rosenbloom was still on the attack. Marshall had a sore ankle, and the Bears’ other star receiver, Alshon Jeffery, a strained hamstring, but both were in the game. “The Bears decided to play two injured receivers who can’t run or jump,” Rosenbloom tweeted in the first half. “That’s some smart player evaluation, huh?”
