LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears are still reeling a day after their overtime loss in Denver.
Coach Lovie Smith called the 13-10 defeat to the Broncos one of the most difficult he’s ever had to digest.
Chicago had a 10-0 lead late, but let it slip away. Running back Marion Barber made two mistakes that were costly. He ran out of bounds to kill the clock when the Broncos had no timeouts left in regulation, giving them time for a game-tying field goal. And then Barber fumbled in overtime and the Broncos moved in behind Tim Tebow for the winning kick.
At 7-6 with a three-game losing streak, Chicago is in jeopardy of missing the playoffs after making it to the NFC championship last season.
