The game couldn't have started any better for the Chicago Bears.

They never took advantage of that start. I question the coaching decisions on both the offense and the defense. Defensively they played too much coverage and Peyton Manning was patient and never panicked. Offensively they never established a run game.

Rex Grossman the second half of the season and the Bears relied too much on him to move the ball. Everybody wondered how the Bears would stop Indy's passing game, but it was their inability to stop the run that cost them the game.

The Colts stuck to their plan even after a terrible start to the game. Gave up a TD on the opening kickoff and early turnovers didn't rattle Indianapolis.

The Colts controlled time of possession because they won the battle in the trenches.

Everything was there for the Bears to win this game, but the Colts wouldn't let them have it.
