A 95-yard punt return by DeSean Jackson was the first score, putting the Bears up 7–0. Arizona got a field goal next, putting them on the board 7–3. Midway through the first quarter, Marshawn Lynch's 79-yard touchdown run was erased by a block-in-the-back call on Lavelle Hawkins, and the Bears had to settle for a field goal. In the middle of the second quarter, Longshore hit Jackson with a 72-yard touchdown pass to put the Bears up 17–3 at the half.
