The Jacksonville Jaguars head to Chicago to take on the Bears on Thursday night in a nationally televised preseason game, the only game of the day.
It will be a good test for the Jaguars coming off a game against the Buccaneers where the Jags defensive line seemed to dominate not just with the starters, but even into the second and third team.
It'll also be a good chance to gauge the Jaguars offensive line, as the Bears defensive line as a whole is just as good, if not better, than the Bucs line the interior struggled with.

11:13 PM: Our starters beat their starters. Blake Bortles outperformed Chad Henne. Looks like a victory to me.
#Jaguars QBs Blake Bortles, Chad Henne perform well in 20-19 loss to #Bears http://t.co/bIx5hDE785

11:08 PM: PUT IN RICKY STANZI.
#Bears RB Ka’Deem Carey with his second touchdown of the night. Two-point conversion no good. #Jaguars down 20-19.

10:49 PM: :-(
Stephen Morris in the game. Bortles’ first NFL touchdown will have to wait until next week against the #Lions.

10:49 PM: I wanted that touchdown, Blake. I needed that touchdown.
Blake Bortles' work is done for the night. He finished with a respectable line of 11-17, 160 yards.

10:41 PM: Still an encouraging thought that our backups' backups could hold a goal line stand to third down.
Touchdown @ChicagoBears. PAT is good. @jaguars still lead 19-14

10:02 PM: Blake Bortles gets the Jaguars in the red zone again, but still hasn't gotten his first NFL touchdown. Sigh...
Bortles with a nice throw to Taylor. Redfern with the FG and the Jaguars lead 19-7. @BBortles5 is still impressing for a rookie. #Jaguars

9:29 PM: Bart Hubbuch has complimented the Jaguars. In related news, hell has, reportedly, frozen over.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks like the Jaguars competently drafted a quarterback. Brave new world.

9:27 PM: Josh Scobee gets the hat trick! Jaguars are up 16-7 on the Bears.
.@JoshScobee10 is true from 43 yards out. #Jaguars up 16-7 with 1:31 left in the first half.

9:24 PM: "Blake Bortles, Blake Bortles, Blake Bortles, Blake Bortles..."
8:57 PM: It was bound to happen. It's a rare occurrence to keep Jay Cutler or Brandon Marshall out of the end zone, even in the preseason.
Touchdown #Bears! Cutler rifles a pass to Marshall in the end zone for a 4-yd TD on 3rd down. #JAXvsCHI that's what I'm talking @BMarshall

8:18 PM: Jacksonville's defense just forced a three-and-out on the Bears opening drive. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?
Gratz makes solid open field tackle on Forte for 1-yard gain on pass play on 3rd and 3. Bears punt to #Jaguars 18.

8:15 PM: Chad Henne is passing well! Josh Scobee kicked a 49-yard field goal! We got free Firehouse subs!
Henne 3 of 4 for 38 yards on opening drive, with Lee making two of those catches. FG Scobee 49 gives #Jaguars a 3-0 lead.

9:39 AM: There's no way Chad Henne will be the most-sacked quarterback this year. He's only going to play, at most, six games. Smh, NFL Network.
