Chicago took advantage of a turnover to finally get into the end zone on the final play of the third, as Cutler hit Brandon Marshall with a 6-yard pass and found Earl Bennett for the two-point conversion. Philadelphia responded with a 10-yard TD scamper by Polk on the ensuing drive to put the game away.
