![]() I hope that this year, the Bears will fix theirs. The offensive line is the most important unit on the field. Jason Campbell earns a lot of credit in my book for putting up with the pain he endured. He would not have played nearly as well if he was protected by the Bears line. I also love him for beating the Packers, but that is not the point. I’m not taking anything away from Kaeparnick the guy is speedy, accurate, and smart. On the other side of the ball, the Bears defense was helpless against a new quarterback because the guy was getting amazing protection. When you have a weak offensive line, nothing goes well for your team, especially if the quarterback is starting his first game in the middle of the season.

Smith had more sacks than Devin Hester, the Bears leading receiver, had catches.īeing fat isn’t the only requirement for being a good offensive lineman. Its a very special episode of the NFL Rewind this week. Kaeparnick showed the world that he was special in this game, and Aldon Smith made Jason Campbell’s life a living hell, by sacking him 5.5 times. No one on the Bears is worthy of being named the game’s MVP, so I’m going to go ahead and give the honors to Colin Kaeparnick and Aldon Smith. But there was one play in particular that summed up the entire game for me. It’s horrifying ridiculousness gives it the honor of play of the game. For three years prior to that, Nix hosted NFL Live, anchoring the weekday pro football show from studio and on-site at major NFL events, including the Scouting Combine, NFL Draft and Super Bowl. ![]() Campbell was sacked more and threw another interception. In September 2020, Nix moved into a new dual role as host of ESPN’s NFL Rewind and College Football Live. And that was the bright spot in the game. It was the first touchdown the Bears had in over six quarters. It ended with a Brandon Marshall touchdown. After being shut out for 2 quarters, the Bears actually had a decent drive. When the Bears got the ball, something amazing happened. After a big 37 yard pass to Mario Manningham, Kaepernick completed a 10 yard touchdown strike to Michael Crabtree. The second half picked up the game where it had been left off, with Kaepernick shoving the ball down the throats of the Bears supposedly great defense. The 49ers added a field goal and a few more Campbell beatings before the end of the half. That was Kaepernick’s cue to lead his team on an 8 play, 96 yard drive for a touchdown. When the Bears got the ball back, they managed a few nice plays, but they were eventually forced to punt again. On the ensuing 49ers possession, Kaepernick was a perfect 3/3 on a four play drive that culminated in a niner touchdown. When the Bears got the ball, they were abruptly forced to punt after Jason Campbell was sacked on third and 2 for a ten yard loss. He led the niners to a field goal on the opening drive. Here’s the ugly boxscore.įrom the first snap of the game, Colin Kaepernick looked poised. To put things lightly, he was completely useless. On the other side of the ball, Jason Campbell got the start for the concussed Jay Cutler. Colin Kaepernick had a field day in his first career NFL start against the vaunted Bears defense.
