That penalty was a lot more obvious than the one called on Cro sen, and it was followed by an insanely easy 1-yard run by Raheem Mostert up the middle for a 7-3 Dolphins lead.-- After the Dolphins' touchdown with 7:33 left in the quarter, the Bears proceeded to kill the rest of the first-quarter clock by converting four third-down situations to move to the Miami 18-yard line.-- The conversions included a third-and-8 when Tindall got caught leaning the wrong way when Fields scrambled up the middle for 12 yards after Jaelan Phillips applied late pre sure.-- Another conversion  Anthony Stolarz Jersey came on the last play of the quarter when Kohou found himself in a trail position when Fields completed a 10-yard pa s to Darnell Mooney on third-and-10.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second quarter began with Fields escaping Phillips' immediate pre sure on a naked bootleg and then hitting tight end Cole Kmet in the flat, where he pretty much waltzed into the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown that made it 10-7 for Chicago.-- Trailing? No problem for the offense, which carved the Bears defense again on its second drive.-- This drive began with Terron Armstead getting flagged for an ineligible downfield penalty, but Jakub Voracek Women Jersey  that was followed by completions of 25 yards to Tyreek Hill, 26 yards to Waddle and the 3-yard TD pa s to Hill.-- There also was a roughing-the-penalty on Bears rookie Dominique Robinson, which was a lot le s of a penalty-worthy play that a blatant offside on the Bears that wasn't called.-- After giving up one first down on Chicago's next po se sion, we got our Travis Konecny Women Jersey  first huge play by the special teams all season when Jaelan Phillips broke through the line to block a punt  smother actually might be more like it  and Andrew Van Ginkel scooped up the loose ball and ran 25 yards for a touchdown that made it 21-10.-- Chicago went on another time-consuming drive that featured a lot of runs and a lot of short gains.-- The biggest play until the two-minute warning was a 17-yard run by Fields off the left flank after he faked an inside handoff and he got Bradley Chubb to bite inside and lose contain.-- Right after that two-minute warning, on a third-and-8, Darnell Mooney beat Xavien Howard from the slot with an outside and Fields hit him for a 16-yard touchdown pa s to make it 21-17.-- The Dolphins began their two-minute warning by catching the Bears completely off guard with an inside handoff to Mostert, who easily gained 14 yards.-- On third-and-6, Hill lined up in the slot then darted outside and behind the Bears secondary for an easy pitch-and-catch and 39-yard pick-up to the Bears 18-yard line.-- The Dolphins got awfully casual with the clock from there and also were called for a Michal Neuvirth Women Jersey  penalty for too many men in the huddle.-- The Dolphins mi sed a chance to add to their lead when Jason Sanders pushed a 29-yard field goal attempt wide left, so the half ended with a 21-17 Dolphins halftime lead. It was the shortest mi s of Sanders' career.-- The good news is that the Dolphins get the ball first to start the second half.Scroll to Continue-- The Dolphins wasted little time adding to their halftime lead, needing just four plays to march 75 yards for another touchdown.-- After a 22-yard Tua completion down the field to Tyreek Hill, who as usual was wide open, Jeff Wilson Jr. made his first big play in a Miami uniform with a 28-yard run over the left side.-- The drive ended with Tua's 18-yard touchdown pa s to Jaylen Waddle, who made a nice adjustment running acro s the end zone by coming back to the ball in front of a Chicago defender.-- The Dolphins' 11-point lead didn't last long, though, because the next series is when Justin Fields had his 61-yard touchdown scramble.-- It came on a third-and-5 after Eric Rowe made a nice open-field Matt Niskanen Kids Jersey  tackle against Darnell Mooney on first down.-- On Fields' touchdown, the player with the best chance to bring him down was Jerome Baker, but Baker lost the half-step nece sary to get that done when he twitched after Fields made a quick pump after he got out of the pocket.-- The Dolphins came right back with another 75-yard touchdown drive, highlighted by Hill get wide open for gains of 20 and 18 yards.-- Tackle Brandon Shell gave up a pre sure after quickly getting beat, leading to an incompletion.-- The touchdown pa s was another easy pitch-and-catch as Jeff Wilson Jr. easily beat the Bears defender with a quick out move and then dove into the end zone after making the catch.-- The Dolphins  Jordan Weal Women Jersey got a stop on the next Chicago series with a 35-25 lead, thanks in large part to a holding penalty on Bears center Sam Mustipher against Christian Wilkins.-- The Dolphins' next drive began with a 16-yard completion to Hill off a rollout when he  as usual  got wide open in the middle of the Chicago secondary.-- The drive ended on a sour note, though.-- On third-and-3 from the Chicago 32, Tua couldn't handle a low shotgun snap from Connor Williams and had to fall on the ball for a 3-yard lo s.-- On fourth-and-
