Game #5: Arizona (3-1) at Chicago (3-1)

A pair of interceptions in the first quarter gave us great field position, and RB Kelly Hayes took advantage of it, scoring a pair of TDs in the first frame. On the day Hayes was abso-freakin-lutely brilliant, rushing for 124 yards at 8.27 per carry and catching 5 of 5. QB Fernando Windsor played short and safe all day (blame our lack of playmakers at receiver), completing 20 of 30 for a meager 113 yards and no INTs.

On defense, we faced a stiff challenge in elite Arizona QB Isaac Gilmore and a coach who decided to throw the ball 65 times! And despite giving up a bunch of yards to such a determined passing attack, the defense really stepped up the big plays. Even with 3 secondary members out with injury, we defensed 8 passes and picked 3, including INTs by CB Barry Westbrook and MLB Dexter Lucas. Our pass rush, however, was even more devastating. We hurried the QB 16 times, grabbed 4 sacks, and knocked him down 5 other times. RDE Doug Conley led the charge with a sack, a block, 4 hurries and 4 knockdowns.

In the end, throwing the ball all day couldn't bring the Cardinals back from the early deficit, bone-crushing pass rush and clock-chewing Bear offense. Bears win, 23-16.
