The Bears established a firm defensive performance after Charles Tillman intercepted a ball knocked loose from Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson. The Bears’ offense failed to capitalize on the interception, and turned to Robbie Gould to kick a 40-yard field goal. However, a false start prior to the kick pushed the Bears’ back to the 45-yard line. Richard Seymour then blocked the Gould attempt, ending Gould's streak at 26 consecutive field goals. Then, Rex Grossman and Olin Kreutz had a miscue, which resulted in a botched snap within the Patriots’ ten-yard line, resulting in a turnover. The Patriots' next drive resulted in running back Laurence Maroney scoring a touchdown. The Bears could only respond with a 46-yard Gould field goal. Then, after an exchange of punts, Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 52-yard field goal at the end of the first half. The Patriots led 10-3 at halftime.

Then, on the next play from scrimmage, Brian Urlacher intercepted Johnson, which allowed Cedric Benson to rush for a 24-yard touchdown. Vikings head coach Brad Childress benched Johnson in favor of Brooks Bollinger. However, the Vikings began to break apart when running back Ciatrick Fason was drilled in the endzone for a safety.

The first quarter went scoreless, as it was beginning to look like a defensive struggle throughout the game. That tide quickly turned early in the second quarter, as the Rams jumped out in front on a short touchdown pass from Marc Bulger to Torry Holt. The Rams botched the snap on the extra point attempt, and led 6-0. Hester then returned the ensuing kickoff 94 yards for the Bears first score. The Rams marched back downfield on the Bears defense and scored again, this time on a 2 yard plunge by Steven Jackson. Bears quarterback Rex Grossman silenced his critics, and bounced back from two poor performances. He threw his first touchdown pass to wideout Bernard Berrian shortly before halftime.
