Offseason

Roster changes

One of the biggest stories in the Bears’ off-season was Tank Johnson’s jail sentence. In December 2006, Johnson came under increased scrutiny after police entered his house in Gurnee, Illinois, and found several guns and weapon paraphernalia.^[3] The situation was further complicated when Johnson’s friend, William Posey, was murdered the following evening while defending Johnson at a nightclub. On March 15, 2007, a judge in Skokie, Illinois sentenced Johnson to a 120 days in jail and fined him $2,500 dollars.^[4] He was released from jail on May 13, 2007, due to good behavior.^[5] Johnson also faced an additional eight game suspension from the NFL.^[6] The league ultimately suspended Johnson for half of the regular season on June 4.^[7] Despite vowing the amend his ways, Johnson was pulled over for speeding in Arizona, and was later given a blood test after an officer suspected he was driving under the influence.

Schedule and standings

Preseason

The team won their first preseason game against the Houston Texans by a score of 20-19.^[62] The game was highlighted by a staunch performance from their three quarterbacks.^[63] Rex Grossman completed eight of ten passes for fifty yards, while his back, Brian Griese, went six for seven with seventy-two yards and one touchdown and interception.^[62] However, third-string quarterback Kyle Orton played in integral part in their victory. Orton, who played nearly two quarters, completed sixteen of twenty-five passes for 151 yards and single touchdown.^[62] At one point, he had completed twelve consecutive passes.^[62] Running back Josh Allen and Orton got the Bears to the Texan's twenty-nine yard line, where Robbie Gould kicked the game's winning field goal.^[62] While the team's defense and offense performed productively, their special teams unit drew skepticism after allowing the Texans to produce several large kick returns.

Game summary

The Bears returned home to play a Sunday night match with the Dallas Cowboys. The game was close early as the Bears' Robbie Gould and the Cowboys' Nick Folk each hit field goals respectively to make it a 3-3 tie at halftime. The Cowboys took the opening drive of the third quarter and ended it with a Tony Romo to Jason Witten touchdown pass. The Bears responded on the ensuing drive with a Cedric Benson goal line plunge. The Cowboys struck again before the end of the third quarter, Romo connecting on his second touchdown pass, this time to running back Marion Barber. Folk converted a 44 yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, and on the next play from scrimmage, Bears quarterback Rex Grossman threw a costly interception to Cowboys cornerback Anthony Henry, who ran it back for the score. With the lead in hand, the Cowboys proceeded to kill the clock, which they did effectively with Barber, who capped the scoring with a one yard touchdown run. Barber ended the night with over 100 yards rushing, and Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens caught eight passes for 145 yards. The Cowboys improved to 3-0, while the Bears dropped to 1-2.

Game summary

Following the aftermath of the team’s loss to Dallas, the Bears turned to Brian Griese replace Rex Grossman. The change came in an attempt to protect the ball, and reduce turnovers. Nonetheless, the turnovers continued to haunt the team en route to 37-27 loss against the Detroit Lions. The Lions took a first quarter lead by blocking a Robbie Gould field-goal attempt, and then using the field position to score a field goal. The Bears’ offense struggled to move the ball in the first quarter, and but began to pick up momentum in the second quarter. Griese threw a fifteen-yard touchdown to Muhsin Muhammad, but also threw two interceptions in two red zone visits.

However, Devin Hester responded by returning the ensuing kick-ff for a touchdown. The Lions established their running game later, and allowed Kevin Jones to score a rushing touchdown, sending the Lions up by ten again. Griese led the Bears downfield on the subsequent drive.

Game summary

The Eagles fell to the Chicago Bears in the closing seconds of the game. The first three quarters were essentially a battle of field goals. David Akers successfully converted all three of his first half field goal attempts, the longest from 37 yards out. Robbie Gould was one for two, and the score was 9-3 Philadelphia at halftime. The Bears took the ball to the Eagles' one-yard line on their first drive of the third quarter, but settled for a field goal. Gould connected for two more field goals early in the fourth quarter to tie the game, then put the Bears ahead 12-9. On their ensuing possession, Donovan McNabb guided the Eagles down the field and fired a touchdown pass to tight end Matt Schobel, putting Philadelphia back on top 16-12 with less than five minutes to play. The Eagles forced a three and out, but their offense could not kill the clock. Chicago got the ball back with less than two minutes left and Brian Griese marched his team down the field, completing the winning touchdown pass to Muhsin Muhammad with nine seconds remaining. The Eagles fell short on their final opportunity, as the Bears improved to 3-4 with the win.
