We have all of your updates from today’s game between the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears in Week 4.
Update: Broncos finish a 21-point comeback win over the Bears to notch their first victory of the season.
The winless Denver Broncos will be looking for their first win of the season on the road against the equally winless Chicago Bears. Neither team has shown much propensity for playing defense and neither offense has been able to keep up with the amount of points their defenses are giving up each week. That’s especially the case with Denver after that 70-point catastrophe last week.
Kickoff is set for 11:00 a.m. Mile High time on Sunday, October 1, 2023 at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The game will air on CBS with Andrew Catalon (play-by-play), Tiki Barber and Matt Ryan (analysts), and AJ Ross (sideline) announcing. You can also check to see if the game will air in your city here or check your local Broncos radio network affiliate stations.

Russell Wilson, Mike McGlinchey and Riley Dixon represent the Broncos for the coin toss.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023
The Broncos call tails.
The coin comes up tails. Broncos defer again. Bears ball first.
Broncos are 4-0 on coin tosses this year.
Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper are starting at OLB. Randy Gregory is not.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
Randy Gregory doesn’t even have his helmet on while standing on the sideline.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
Bonitto sacks Fields almost as soon as Fields got shotgun snap. #9sports

Fans boo the Bears as they elect to punt on fourth-and-1. They are right to boo; they’re 0-3
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023
Marvin Mims Jr. is on the field for the Broncos' first snap on offense.
— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) October 1, 2023
First start of his young career.
There's Jeudy over the middle for 18.
— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) October 1, 2023
They called THAT hit by Jack Sanborn on Nate Adkins unnecessary roughness?

The Broncos have eight offensive touchdowns this season.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023
Four have come in the first quarter.
They’ve definitely figured out the openers.
Bears going for it on fourth-and-1 now after booed relentlessly in same spot on first drive.

The Broncos’ defense has not forced a first-half incompletion in the past two weeks.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
Oh no.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
The kickoff bounced off Marvin Mims (face?).
Broncos have the ball at their own 4.
Facing a third down after the muffed kickoff, the Broncos use a timeout.
— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) October 1, 2023
Big play coming up.
A screen pass is blown up and the Broncos will punt the ball away and likely set the Bears up with good field position
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023
Short punt sets the Bears up with great field position
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023
RB Javonte Williams (hip) questionable to return. #9sports

DJ Moore has two catches working against Pat Surtain II so far today.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023
Cole Kmet wide open with the entire lakefront to himself for the touchdown catch

Jaleel McLaughlin is dynamic and a playmaker.

Get him the ball more.
False start moves the Broncos back to 2nd and 24

Punt time for the Broncos.

Things are unfolding quick.
DTY saves a 85-yard TD run with a nice open field tackle.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
But he still picks up 24.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
Justin Fields just can’t miss.
Sean Payton is challenging whether it was a catch.

Justin Fields first incompletion is… called defensive pass interference.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
No incompletion after all.
Justin Fields with his THIRD touchdown PASS of the game.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
It’s the first half.
In the last 120 minutes of game play, the Broncos defense has given up SEVENTEEN TOUCHDOWNS.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 1, 2023
That’s 8.5 TDs per 60 minutes.
An average of 61.5 points per 60 minutes for the equivalent of two games.
And the Broncos still haven’t forced a first-half incompletion since Week 2.
And now the #Broncos are out of timeouts for the first half.
— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) October 1, 2023
Fields hits DJ Moore deep for a 23-yard gain
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 1, 2023
Hard to believe, but that Justin Fields Hail Mary at the end of the half was the first first-half incompletion against the #Broncos since Week 2.

The Bears are giving the Broncos’ drowning defense a lifeline.

Glory be, the Broncos defense actually made a play
Another great return by Marvin Mims.

Russell Wilson to Jerry Jeudy for a FIRST DOWN.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 1, 2023
Lil Jordan Humphrey gets the first down!

Instead Russ threw it out of the end zone to Sutton.

And just like that, the Bears are in field goal range.

But plenty of time left. 4 minutes.

Wow. Broncos defense comes up with the stop on fourth-and-1. Russell Wilson has 2:52 and one timeout to get Denver into range for Wil Lutz.
— Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) October 1, 2023
And just like that, Broncos in FG range. Wilson to Mims for 49 yards
