ST. LOUIS - Two short passes led to two big gains and the start of a big win for the Chicago Bears.

Tight end Zach Miller and running back Jeremy Langford turned Jay Cutler throws into 87 and 83-yard touchdowns, respectively, in the first half as Chicago dumped the St. Louis Rams 37-13 on Sunday at Edward Jones Dome.

Miller's catch-and-run, the result of a failed tackle by linebacker Akeem Ayers, tied the game at 7 with 11:10 left in the first quarter. It answered a 6-yard scoring run on the game's first possession by St. Louis' Todd Gurley.
