Robinson was tackled at the Denver 35 by Chris Harris Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The clock showed all zeroes and both teams milled around on the field not knowing whether to celebrate a win or lament a loss. Then referee Adrian Hill announced there was 1 second remaining and Chicago was using its last timeout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Pineiro\u2019s winner sent the Bears (1-1) streaming back onto the field in celebration of a victory that seemed so unlikely after they\u2019d surrendered the lead moments earlier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In a whipsaw of emotion, cornerback Kyle Fuller, whose goal-line interception with five minutes left seemingly sealed Chicago\u2019s win, surrendered a 7-yard tiptoe TD to Emmanuel Sanders. Sanders barely got both feet toes down in the right corner of the end zone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Broncos lined up for 2 but a delay pushed them back 5 yards. Fangio sent Brandon McManus out instead for the extra point and the tie. But McManus was wide right and the Bears went wild.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hold on: a flag on Chicago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Buster Skrine was offside and the Broncos moved up to the 1. Out came their offense again, and with an empty backfield, Joe Flacco backpedaled and hit Sanders at the goal line in front of Fuller to give Denver a 14-13 lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For the second straight game, the Broncos failed to get a sack, but linebacker Bradley Chubb came close, hitting Trubisky just as he got off a throw to tight end Trey Burton for 10 yards. A debatable roughing call on Chubb tacked on 15 yards and the Bears were suddenly in business at the Broncos 45-yard line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Three incompletions were followed by a 12-men-in-the-huddle infraction, however, and the Bears were facing fourth-and-15 from their 40 with 9 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Trubisky found Robinson over the middle in the nick of time. Harris\u2019 tackle came one second too early for the Broncos, who saw their 13-home-game September winning streak snapped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">HONORING MR. B<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Broncos held a moment of silence before kickoff for late owner Pat Bowlen, who died in June at age 75, two months before he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">INJURIES<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Bears starting DT Bilal Nichols was knocked out with a hand injury in the third quarter. \u2026 Broncos starters ILB Todd Davis (calf) and CB Bryce Callahan (foot) were held out for the second straight week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">NEXT UP<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Chicago: visits Philadelphia on Sept. 23.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Denver: visits Green Bay on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/arniestapleton\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/arniestapleton<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP NFL: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/tag\/NFL\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/tag\/NFL<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94NFL\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014NFL<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/pineiros-53-yard-field-goal-lifts-bears-past-broncos-16-14\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro (15) kicks the game-winning field goal as punter Pat O&#8217;Donnell (16) holds during the second half of an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019, in Denver.
