ARIZONA 27, BEARS 17

The fault line: Bears sputter

Heat lightning lit up the desert sky Friday night in the fourth quarter of the Bears' 27-17 exhibition loss to the Arizona Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium. Unless the Bears caught some of that lightning in a bottle, they returned to Halas Hall for practice Sunday with more concern than hope.
