After forcing the Bears to punt for the second straight game, the Cardinals gained excellent field position on Greg Dortch's 27-yard return to the Chicago 41.

James Conner ran for 15 yards on first down, gained another nine yards on a run and a short catch, and then tight end Trey McBride – on third-and-1 from the Bears' 17, hauled in a pass from Kyler Murray for 13 yards .

On first-and-1 from 2nd, McBride was on the move, took an inside handoff from Murray and continued to run left before getting into the end zone for a rushing touchdown with 46 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Cardinals are now a perfect 12 of 12 in goal-to-goal situations, best in the NFL.

Score: Cardinals 7, Bears 0 (end of first quarter)
