Again, I can make a better call there. That&#8217;s on me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Cardinals rushed for 118 of their 213 yards in the second quarter.

We know how to do it; we&#8217;ve done it in the past with the same guys. It&#8217;s important that we shore up and make sure we do a better job, starting with the coaches and then the players after that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Bears played without four injured starters in left tackle <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/braxton-jones\/\" title=\"Braxton Jones\">Braxton Jones<\/a> (knee), defensive end <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/montez-sweat\/\" title=\"Montez Sweat\">Montez Sweat<\/a> (shin), nickel back <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/kyler-gordon\/\" title=\"Kyler Gordon\">Kyler Gordon<\/a> (hamstring) and safety <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/jaquan-brisker\/\" title=\"Jaquan Brisker\">Jaquan Brisker<\/a> (concussion).

The score came one play after McBride&#8217;s 15-yard reception from Kyler Murray on third-and-1 and was set up by Greg Dortch&#8217;s 27-yard punt return to the Bears&#8217; 41.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Bears cut the deficit to 7-3 on their next possession on Santos&#8217; 29-yard field goal. The kick was set up by Williams&#8217; 44-yard completion to a wide-open <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/rome-odunze\/\" title=\"Rome Odunze\">Rome Odunze<\/a> to the Arizona 23. The Bears reached the 11 but settled for the field goal after three straight incompletions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The defense followed by generating a key takeaway as undrafted rookie <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/reddy-steward\/\" title=\"Reddy Steward\">Reddy Steward<\/a> &#8220;Peanut-Punched&#8221; the ball away from receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. after a 21-yard reception. <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/elijah-hicks\/\" title=\"Elijah Hicks\">Elijah Hicks<\/a> returned the fumble seven yards to the Arizona 46.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;He had the ball loose and I just reacted to it and I punched it out,&#8221; said Steward, a Troy product who made his NFL debut Sunday. &#8220;Elijah picked it up and we got that turnover, so it felt good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Bears converted the turnover into Santos&#8217; 53-yard field goal, closing the gap to 7-6 with 9:10 remaining in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>But the Cardinals answered as running back Trey Benson&#8217;s 1-yard TD run widened the margin to 14-6. It appeared that the Bears had forced Arizona to settle for Chad Ryland&#8217;s 32-yard field goal, but a leverage penalty on <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/gervon-dexter\/\" title=\"Gervon Dexter Sr.\">Gervon Dexter Sr.<\/a> gave the Cardinals an automatic first down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>Santos&#8217; 53-yard field goal drew the Bears to within 14-9 with :26 left in the half before Demercado&#8217;s 53-yard TD run made it 21-9 at halftime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>After the Bears opened the second half with a three-and-out, Ryland&#8217;s 29-yard field goal increased Arizona&#8217;s lead to 24-9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Bears turned the ball over on downs on the first play of the fourth quarter when Williams was sacked for a 16-yard loss on fourth-and-10 from the Arizona 44. The Cardinals failed to pick up a first down but extended their lead to 27-9 on Ryland&#8217;s 55-yard field goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>Arizona later made it 29-9 when <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/team\/players-roster\/d-andre-swift\/\" title=\"D'Andre Swift\">D&#8217;Andre Swift<\/a> was penalized for a chop block in the end zone, resulting in a safety with 7:54 remaining in the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>With their second straight loss, the Bears fell to 4-4.

We&#8217;ve got everybody we need in the circle of men in there and the staff members in there and the coaches in there. We&#8217;ve got everybody we need and [will] take an inward look and make sure we&#8217;re doing things the right way. It starts with the coaches first and then it starts with that practice on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got to find some good answers for putting our guys in position and we&#8217;ve got to do a great job of executing this week. We&#8217;re 4-4 right now at the halfway point through and we&#8217;re starting a new season now. To me, it&#8217;s about getting this first victory and being 1-0 this week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/news\/rapid-recap-bears-fall-to-cardinals-in-arizona-2024-week-9\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The game&#8217;s turning point came after Santos&#8217; third field goal drew the Bears to within 14-9 with :26 left in the first half.
