Bears beat Colts 29-13

Lost at first game in new stadium? Yes, starting quarterback not fully recovered for the season? Yes, playoff contender? Not so sure.

The Bears astounded the Colts by 29-13 on the first game at Indianapolis new arena, the Lucas Oil Stadium, and such loss might be an indication that the Colts will not be doing so good this season due to Manning’s vulnerable condition.

This is the first time since 2004 that the Colts would not be starting their regular season schedule 7-0.

The secret for the Bears victory was their defense, with guys like Jason McKie and Lance Briggs performing outstandingly, "we wanted to establish a new line of scrimmage, stop the run, put pressure on Manning. Everyone was flying around all over the place." defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek said.

So the teams with probably the better quarterbacks at the NFL, the Patriots and the Colts would have a tough season with their main guys injured or not in shape to play at their accustomed level, now it seems like the Jaguars are the team to look up at the AFC south.
