Bears vs. Colts: Score and Twitter Reaction from 2015 Preseason

A Chicago Bears team captained by Jimmy Clausen used a two-touchdown third quarter to power its way to a 23-11 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night. 

Taking over in the second half, Clausen went 6-of-9 for 54 yards with a touchdown and an interception. As it goes in preseason however, Clausen's ability to help Chicago win its game came while leading the lower talent of the team against Indianapolis' backups, as NBC WTHR's Bob Kravitz watched:

While Clausen led the scoring, Chicago's starter Jay Cutler had himself a nice first half, going 8-of-9 for 69 yards. ESPN.com's Jeff Dickerson broke down Cutler's evening:

"

He seemed to handle offensive coordinator Adam Gase’s up-tempo approach at the line of scrimmage, and even in the face of pressure, moved outside of the pocket and made plays with his feet. Cutler’s performance is encouraging. He definitely heads to the all-important third preseason game next Saturday at Cincinnati with some momentum.

"

The busiest member of the Bears though was kicker Robbie Gould, who scored Chicago's first nine points, including a 50-yard field goal to open the game's scoring. 

Amanda Kaschube of the Chicago Tribune jokingly stated that Gould earned his pay:

Jeremy Langford had the rushing performance of the day, recording 80 yards on nine carries with one touchdown as he competes for the backup job behind Matt Forte. ESPN's Chris Sprow took a look at his game:

Andrew Luck scored the Colts' lone touchdown of the day, a five-yard rush followed by a two-point conversion to new wide receiver Andre Johnson.

A 45-yard reception was T.Y. Hilton's highlight of the night as he hauled in just one other reception for seven yards. Luck's new target, Johnson, had just eight yards receiving as the Colts passed for only 117 yards, very low for a pass-happy team. They have yet to win a game this preseason while the Bears are 2-0.
