Second Half Summary

Well that is the final bell from Chicago! After a grindingly slow first half which featured a 3-3 stalemate, Dallas opened the offensive fireworks in the second half. They outscored the Bears 31-7 and left no question about who is the biggest threat to the AFC's supremacy.
Grossman threw another pair of interceptions and no touchdowns, the lone Bears score coming on the ground from RB Cedric Benson. Devin Hester continued to be a non-factor, almost becoming a liability as he fumbled kicks and muffed punts. As Chicago fell further behind, they abandoned the pass game allowing the Dallas front seven to pressure Grossman and force him into bad throws, as well as drop more players into pass coverage. As the game wore on, Romo became more adept at dodging Bears rushers and finding his receivers, particularly Owens, as he was scrambling. Marion Barber III also built up momentum, finding larger holes in the line and frequently breaking into the Chicago secondary. The final score : Vaqueros 34, Osos 10. See you tomorrow night!
