Bears blow game open in 2nd half, rout Jaguars 41-3

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (MCT) — Some worried the Bears were walking into a trap Sunday afternoon at EverBank Field, and the first half certainly resembled that.

But a defense that has been playing as well as the Bears’ was not going to be conquered by Blaine Gabbert, the first-round draft pick of the Jaguars last season who is quickly shaping into a bust. Gabbert never did anything to threaten and a close game was blown open in the second half as Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs returned interceptions for touchdowns for the second consecutive game, the first time in NFL history teammates have accomplished that feat.
