LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Donovan McNabb called it a ``must win,'' and just to be clear, he was only referring to his Philadelphia Eagles. That the Chicago Bears are in a similar spot was merely a coincidence, yet after a rough few weeks, that's where these teams stand heading into their game Sunday night. The Eagles (5-4) are coming off two close losses. The Bears (4-5) have dropped four of five. And both teams desperately need a win at Soldier Field. ``This is a must win for us and that's the way th |

| (MySportsbook) - With their season potentially hanging in the balance, the San Francisco 49ers were finally able to come out on the right side of a close game in last Thursday's narrow victory over the Chicago Bears. Despite being outgained by a sizeable margin and generating little consistency on the offensive end, the 49ers did just enough on both sides of the ball to edge the mistake-prone Bears in a 10-6 squeaker that kept the team a viable contender in the NFC playoff picture. The win halted a frustr |
