The No. 1 draft pick, Stafford helped the Lions snap their 19-game losing streak with a 19-14 win over Washington, and they'll try to make it two in a row when they visit the Chicago Bears on Sunday. ``We really don't talk about it too much and don't really think about it either,'' Stafford said. ``It was a big win for the city and the players that were here last year, but we have to put it behind us and start working toward Chicago |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -The audio in his helmet went out and the roar from the crowd was deafening - not that it stopped Jay Cutler.

He completed more than 70 percent of his passes for the second straight week since that awful debut at Green Bay. The difference? ``Four interceptions,'' Cutler said wi |

Suhey's father, Matt, was a running back for Paterno in the late 1970s and went on to play for the Chicago Bears. His grandfather, Steve, starred at guard in the mid-1940s, playing under his father - and Joe Suhey's great-grandfather, Bob Higgins, who was Penn State coach from 1930-48. ``He's playing tough. He's a good football player,'' Paterno said of Joe |

Atlanta gets no breaks after the off week, as it visits the San Francisco 49ers before an even tougher three-game run versus the Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans, with the last two games on the road. In addition to getting their offense back on track, the Falcons will need to address a run defense that allowed the pass-happy Patriots to carry the ball 39 times for 168 yards. " |

After a 13-10 overtime victory over the Tennessee Titans back on September 10, the Steelers dropped a 17-14 contest to the Chicago Bears 10 days later, losing on a late field goal after their own placekicker missed a pair of three-point tries. Pittsburgh wouldn't point fingers at kicker Jeff Reed following that loss and certainly won't do so again this week after their defense, which |
