**SCORE UPDATE**
-----------------
The Chicago Bears are in control in St. Louis, with the offense firing on all cylinders, and the defense playing tough football. In the second half, the Bears will get the ball first. If they come out and score another touchdown on their next drive, that will be a significant advantage for the rest of the game, with Nick Foles playing not very good football right now.
This game will likely come down to the 4th quarter, with both teams playing with grit and scrappiness so far. Jay Cutler is playing lights-out football (again!), with three touchdown tosses and almost 250 yards passing in the first half alone.
Zach Miller is continuing to be a beast, and Jeremy Langford is also padding his stats for the second consecutive week.
John Fox and coordinators Adam Gase and Vic Fangio are running a great gameplan, putting their players in positions to be successful on both sides of the ball.
This is your 3rd Quarter Open Thread... Have fun!
