NFL: Chicago Bears at Miami Dolphins Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports

The Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears are kicking off their Week 6 showdown in South Florida. After being decimated at the New England Patriots and then collapsing late at the Cincinnati Bengals, the Dolphins return home hoping to keep their 2018 season record above .500.

Can the Dolphins get back to winning football? Will the Bears’ dynamic pass rush abuse an already banged up Miami offensive line? Can Miami find the run game that has alluded them the last couple of weeks? Or perhaps the pass rush will start turning close into actual sacks?

Below you will find a recap of the game, updated throughout the game, giving you a live update of all the action. At the bottom of the page, you can find all the information you need to watch/stream the game.

1st Quarter

The Bears deferred after winning the coin toss, with the Dolphins receiving to start the game.

Dolphins 1st possession. Miami started the game with a run from Frank Gore, a theme that they need to keep all game long. Kenyan Drake and Gore need to be fed the ball constantly this weekend. Brock Osweiler, starting in place of the injured Ryan Tannehill, found tight end Nick O’Leary on second down for a 14-yard gain and giving Miami a first down. Another Gore run picked up four yards, but then two incomplete passes, including a dropped pass by Albert Wilson on 3rd-and-6 that would have converted for the first down. Miami punted.

Bears 1st possession. The Bears started with a Mitchell Trubisky incomplete pass, followed by a Jordan Howard run for two yards. After a deep pass from Tubisky was over thrown, the Bears punted.

Dolphins 2nd possession. After the punt, Miami started at their own 46 yard line. After Gore picked up no yards, Drake picked up five, then Osweiler looked deep for Jakeem Grant, picking up 25 yards. Gore picked up three yards, then Osweiler found Danny Amendola for three yards, then an unnecessary roughness penalty on the Bears for body slamming Amendola down onto the turf added 15 more yards. A two yard run from Gore set up a five-yard touchdown pass from Osweiler to O’Leary.

Dolphins 7-0.

Bears 2nd possession. The Bears would pick up 33 yards on ten plays over 6:41 on their drive, but nothing would come from it. Taylor Gabriel picked up nine yards on the first play, Trubisky picked up four yards on the third play and eight yards on the fourth play, then a seven yard pass from Trubisky to Tarik Cohen set up a 2nd-and-3. A delay of game penalty pushed back the Bears to 2nd-and-8, eventually leading to a 4th-and-1 attempt that was stopped by a Reshad Jones tackle before Cohen could gain any yardage.

Dolphins 3rd possession. Gore broke a 14-yard run just before the end of the quarter.

End 1st Quarter.

2nd Quarter

Dolphins 3rd possession (continued). On 3rd-and-8, the Bears brought a blitz and Osweiler looked across the middle, but the ball was tipped and fell just out of the reach of tight end Mike Gesicki. Miami would punt.

Bears 3rd possession. The Bears again started eating clock, though Miami was able to sack Trubisky twice on the drive. On first down, a defensive pass interference penalty on Kiko Alonso advanced the ball four yards and gave Chicago a new first down. Trubisky was then sacked by Jonathan Woodard for a seven yard loss. Trubisky found Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel on the next two plays, for an eight yard gain and a 13 yard gain, respectively. Howard picked up three yards on first down, then two incomplete passes appeared to kill the drive before a holding penalty on Torry McTyer extended the drive. Howard picked up a couple of yards, followed by a Trubisky to Robinson pass for seven yards. On 3rd-and-1, Trubisky picked up two yards to set up a new set of downs. Cohen was tackled for a five yard loss when Andre Branch blew up a screen pass, then an incomplete pass set up 3rd-and-15, with Vincent Taylor sacking Trubisky. The Bears punted after a 11 play, 26 yard drive with a time of possession of 6:07.

Dolphins 4th possession. Miami could not do anything on their drive. Gore picked up four yards on 1st down, but then a false start on Jesse Davis backed Miami in to a 2nd-and-11. After he scrambled scrambled for six yards, Osweiler came back and found Drake for one yard on 3rd-and-5, leading to a Miami three-and-out punt.

Bears 4th possession. The Bears jump started their offense wit a 47-yard pass from Trubisky to Gabriel, beating single coverage by McTyer, and giving the Bears a 1st-and-10 at the Miami 18. An incomplete pass was followed by Trubisky finding Cohen for nine yards. Howard then picked up three yards to set up 1st-and-Goal at the Miami 6. After a four yard gain from Howard, the Bears looked to Howard on 2nd-and-Goal from the 2, only to have Howard fumble and Kiko Alonso recovering at the 1.

Dolphins 5th possession. Starting at their own 1-yard line, Miami found breathing room with an 11-yard catch-and-run from Osweiler to O’Leary. Gore then picked up four yards, followed by a pass from Osweiler to Wilson for five yards taking the clock to the 2-minute warning. Drake picked up 12 yards after the break, followed by an incomplete pass targeting tight end Mike Gesicki. Osweiler found Amendola for six yards on 2nd-and-10, then found Drake for five yards to set up a first down play with 47 seconds remaining. After an incomplete pass, the Dolphins were forced to take a time out with 37 seconds left. After a pass for 11 yards to Amendola and another timeout, Osweiler looked deep for DeVante Parker but it was intercepted at the Dolphins four-yard line.

Osweiler then picked up two yards on the keeper, converting the first down, followed by Gore bouncing an inside run outside for 11 yards. After a delay of game penalty, Osweiler found Drakde on the completion, but the play gained no yards. Osweiler then threw a one-yard pass to Mike Gesicki, but the tight end turned it into an 11-yard gain, setting up a 3rd-and-4 for the Bears’ 11-yard line. Osweiler then moved out to his left on the scramble, but threw the pass away, setting up another Sanders field goal.

The play was upheld in a challenge, then Trubisky connected with Cohen for a touchdown, but an offensive pass interference penalty took the points off the board and backed up Chicago. T.J. McDonald picked off the next pass, stopping the Bears drive.

Dolphins 9th possession. Grant dropped a catchable pass on first down, then caught a pass for five yards. Osweiler then connected with Wilson for 28 yards. A screen pass to Grant only picked up two yards, then Drake attempted to bounce a run back outside, but was stopped for a two-yard gain.

Bears 11th possession. Now in a tied game, the Bears got the ball back with nine minutes remaining and started chewing up clock as they worked their way down the field.
