Russell Wilson, Mike McGlinchey and Riley Dixon represent the Broncos for the coin toss.

The Broncos call tails.

The coin comes up tails. Broncos defer again. Bears ball first.

Broncos are 4-0 on coin tosses this year.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper are starting at OLB. Randy Gregory is not.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Randy Gregory doesn’t even have his helmet on while standing on the sideline.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Bonitto sacks Fields almost as soon as Fields got shotgun snap. #9sports

— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) October 1, 2023

Fans boo the Bears as they elect to punt on fourth-and-1. They are right to boo; they’re 0-3

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Marvin Mims Jr. is on the field for the Broncos' first snap on offense.

First start of his young career.

— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) October 1, 2023

There's Jeudy over the middle for 18.

— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) October 1, 2023

They called THAT hit by Jack Sanborn on Nate Adkins unnecessary roughness?

What are we even doing here

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Russell Wilson rushes for the 1st down

— Denver Broncos (@Broncos) October 1, 2023

The Broncos have eight offensive touchdowns this season.

Four have come in the first quarter.

They’ve definitely figured out the openers.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Bears going for it on fourth-and-1 now after booed relentlessly in same spot on first drive.

— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) October 1, 2023

Justin Fields with a TD pass to DJ Moore but the play is under review

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

The call on the field stands.

Bears touchdown.

Not enough info to overturn it.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

DJ MOORE WHAT A TD CATCH

— NFL (@NFL) October 1, 2023

The Broncos’ defense has not forced a first-half incompletion in the past two weeks.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Oh no.

The kickoff bounced off Marvin Mims (face?).

Broncos have the ball at their own 4.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Facing a third down after the muffed kickoff, the Broncos use a timeout.

Big play coming up.

— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) October 1, 2023

A screen pass is blown up and the Broncos will punt the ball away and likely set the Bears up with good field position

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

Short punt sets the Bears up with great field position

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

RB Javonte Williams (hip) questionable to return. #9sports

— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) October 1, 2023

DJ Moore has two catches working against Pat Surtain II so far today.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Cole Kmet wide open with the entire lakefront to himself for the touchdown catch

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Jaleel McLaughlin is dynamic and a playmaker.

Get him the ball more.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

False start moves the Broncos back to 2nd and 24

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

Punt time for the Broncos.

Things are unfolding quick.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

DTY saves a 85-yard TD run with a nice open field tackle.

But he still picks up 24.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

Justin Fields just can’t miss.

Sean Payton is challenging whether it was a catch.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Justin Fields still hasn’t missed.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Justin Fields first incompletion is… called defensive pass interference.

No incompletion after all.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Justin Fields with his THIRD touchdown PASS of the game.

It’s the first half.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

In the last 120 minutes of game play, the Broncos defense has given up SEVENTEEN TOUCHDOWNS.

That’s 8.5 TDs per 60 minutes.

An average of 61.5 points per 60 minutes for the equivalent of two games.

And the Broncos still haven’t forced a first-half incompletion since Week 2.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

And now the #Broncos are out of timeouts for the first half.

— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) October 1, 2023

Fields hits DJ Moore deep for a 23-yard gain

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

Hard to believe, but that Justin Fields Hail Mary at the end of the half was the first first-half incompletion against the #Broncos since Week 2.

Tua Tagovailoa: 16/16, 206, 2 TDs
Justin Fields: 16/17, 231, 3 TDs

Total: 32/33, 437, 5 TDs

— Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) October 1, 2023

Broncos start the second half with a three-and-out, including a drop and false start.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

The Bears are giving the Broncos’ drowning defense a lifeline.

Play-calling the last two series has shown evidence of TSS — tight-sphincter syndrome

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

DJ Moore: 7 catches on 7 targets for 117 and a TD.

— Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) October 1, 2023

Bears convert on third and long despite an unblocked pass rusher

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

Russell Wilson gets the first down on the QB sneak.

First and goal Broncos.

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

An incompletion! On third down! And a Bears punt forthcoming!

Glory be, the Broncos defense actually made a play

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Another great return by Marvin Mims.

This time he goes for 25 yards.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Jaleel McLaughlin has 73 rushing yards on 6 carries for over 12 ypc.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

False start, Garett Bolles

Every Broncos starting O-lineman but Ben Powers has a false start so far today

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Russell Wilson to Jerry Jeudy for a FIRST DOWN.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Lil Jordan Humphrey gets the first down!

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

Jerry Jeudy was WIDE open for an easy 5-7 yards.

Instead Russ threw it out of the end zone to Sutton.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

The Broncos have scored 14 unanswered points.

They are only down one possessions.

21-28, Bears.

Bears having a Broncos-like second half collapse right now

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023

How does Justin Fields have that much room to run?!

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

And just like that, the Bears are in field goal range.

But plenty of time left. 4 minutes.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Sean Payton calls timeout on 4th-and-1 with 2:57 left.

Bears deciding whether to go for it or kick the FG

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

Wow. Broncos defense comes up with the stop on fourth-and-1. Russell Wilson has 2:52 and one timeout to get Denver into range for Wil Lutz.

— Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) October 1, 2023

And just like that, Broncos in FG range. Wilson to Mims for 49 yards

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023

Wil Lutz is GOOD.

BRONCOS TAKE THE LEAD. 31-28.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023

The swings in this game:

After Denver’s first TD, Chicago scored 28 unanswered.

Denver has score 24 unanswered - ALL in the second half.

This game is drunk.

— Romi Bean (@Romi_Bean) October 1, 2023

Justin Fields called for intentional grounding.

Huge penalty.
