(Chicago, IL) -- The Bears found pay dirt with under a minute left to rally past the Jaguars 20-19 from Soldier Field. Senorise Perry scored on a five-yard run to end a seven-play, 86-yard drive with 50 seconds left in the game. Bears head coach Marc Trestman says the reserves fought to win the game.
Jay Cutler tossed for 75 yards and a touchdown to Brandon Marshall. Jimmy Clausen relieved Cutler and was 11-of-15 for 94 yards and an interception as Chicago improved to 2-and-0 in the preseason. Blake Bortles was 11-for-17 for 160 yards while Chad Henne was 12-for-17 for 130 yards and a TD. Jacksonville dipped to 1-and-1 despite putting up 13 points in the first quarter.
Rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller and veteran tight end Zach Miller left last night's game against the Jaguars early. Fuller injured his ankle and was ruled out in the first quarter. Miller hurt his foot in the second quarter and did not return.
Rams' Dunbar Has Charges Dropped
The charges against Rams linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar have been dropped. A misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct stemmed from a July 20th altercation outside a club in Miami. Former NBA player Donte Green was also involved in the incident.
The Rams welcome in the Packers from Green Bay tomorrow on NFL Network. St. Louis is 0-1 so far after a 26-24 setback to the Saints in the first preseason game. The Packers are also 0-and-1 following a four-point loss to the Titans.
Seahawks' Lynch Cleared
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has been cleared of any involvement in an assault and property damage accusation, the Bellevue Police Department said Wednesday night. The Seahawks on Tuesday had called the allegations "bogus" in their own statement. The Bellevue Police Department had said Monday that it was investigating Lynch over an allegation of assault and property damage after he was named by an unidentified woman in connection to an incident that occurred at an apartment complex early Sunday morning.
