Brian Hoyer had trouble moving the Chicago offense early with Jay Cutler sidelined by a sprained right thumb as the Bears fell behind 24-3 at halftime and dropped to 0-3 for the second time in two seasons under coach John Fox.
This was Hoyer 27th career start for his fourth different team, he was 30 of 49 for 317 yards. A good chunk of that with the game out of reach late in the fourth quarter and threw for two scores to Zach Miller.
“We haven’t played a complete game,” Fox said. “This week was the reverse of what we’ve had. We played very poorly in the first half.”
A lot of Chicago fans are getting tired of the same song every year.
