The Chicago Bears were far from superb offensively, but their 23-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams still marked an improvement from their previous Thursday night debacle at the Packers.

The Bears had a +10.2 advantage in The Trench Counter, averaging just 4.1 yards per play but was still significantly better than the 2.8 posted by the Rams. Chicago had a +16 edge in Total Rushes/Completions.

Jay Cutler went 17-for-31 for 183 yards and an interception. Cuter was sacked twice for a loss of 12 yards.

Michael Bush carried 18 times for 55 yards and a touchdown as Matt Forte sat with an ankle injury. Kahlil Bell carried 10 times for 20 yards.

Chicago had a defensive touchdown to put the game out of reach when Tim Jennings tipped a Sam Bradford pass to Major Wright, which he returned 45 yards.

Robbie Gould kicked three field goals for the Bears.

Bradford was 18-for-35 for 152 yards and two interceptions as he led a Rams' offense that only produced 12 first downs.

Steve Jackson carried 11 times for 29 yards, averaging just 2.6 per carry.
