I know this is not the very first game of the season, but it was the first game in the new Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. We were flipping channels when we came across the game. I did not have the remote but I could say something and we did get to catch the score. It was 22-13 Bears favor when we checked. I don't know what happened after that. Wat I do know is that a national television audience tuned in and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was in the house. Johnny Mathis sang the national anthem at the beginning of the game They opened up the massive retractable roof and the giant window on the stadium's north end, and the standing-room-only crowd of 66,822 stood and roared their approval for the U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopters' flyover. How could they not be moved? If you've ever been witness to a flyover it's something you'll never forget.
Anyway, back to the game. The Bears pretty well dominated the game itself. Matt Forte who was the Bears running back rushed for 123 yards and Kyle Orton was 13 for 21 which played into 150 yards. There weren't even any Bear turnovers.
I won't talk ill of the defeated because it's not nice. Suffice it to say the Colts had a very bad afternoon.
Maybe they didn't eat their Wheaties.
