Tonight at 8:00 p.m. the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) will head into a Week 2 preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears (1-0) in a game that can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Jaguars fans can listen to the game by tuning in to 1010 XL, while Bears fans can catch the radio broadcast on WGN 720.
The Jaguars may be planning on having rookie quarterback Blake Bortles sit out the 2014 season while he learns from the sideline, but he could make that call tougher if he plays like he did a week ago.
In Jacksonville's 16-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, Bortles connected on seven of his 11 pass attempts for 117 yards. After the game, Bortles didn't want to praise himself too much though.
"There was some good stuff, some bad stuff, things that I've got to overcome," Bortles said. "It's a process; it's not going to happen overnight. The chemistry felt really good with the second unit. We've been working really well together during camp. I thought the offensive line did a really good job of protecting up front."
Unlike the Jaguars who are in flux, the Bears enter Week 2 with most of the moving pieces settled. Their goal will be to avoid injuries to their core of skill players that could prove to be the best collection in football.
The more interesting angle for Bears fans to take in this matchup will be the backup wars. Jimmy Clausen and Jordan Palmer both played well in their opportunities in Week 1, with Clausen throwing two touchdowns and Palmer tossing 1.
At running back Ka'Deem Carey got an extended look but didn't produce much, gaining 23 yards on 10 carries.
