| (MySportsbook) - The Chicago Bears haven't won without Brian Urlacher in the lineup since 1999, a year before they made the middle linebacker a first-round draft choice. The Steelers, meanwhile, had Troy Polamalu for every game of their Super Bowl run a season ago. Neither injured defensive star will be on the field this Sunday, however, when Pittsburgh visits Chicago and Solider Field for the first time since 1995. Kicking off the NFL season on September 10, Pittsburgh lost Polamalu in the second quarter |

| (MySportsbook) - The Green Bay Packers erased the awful memories of last season's 6-10 finish by pulling out an exciting win over the NFC North-rival Chicago Bears in a Week 1 thriller at Lambeau Field. The Packers hope they won't have to use the two-minute drill this Sunday, when the team faces the Cincinnati Bengals in its second straight home game. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers orchestrated a five-play, 72-yard drive in the final minutes of last Sunday's 21-15 victory over the Bears and connected with Greg |

| Lake Forest, IL (MySportsbook) - Chicago Bears tight end Desmond Clark is doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a rib injury. Clark was held out of practice all week and will be replaced by Kelvin Davis. He had one catch for 23 yards in last Sunday's 21-15 loss to Green Bay. He left play during the game with the injury. Also listed as doubtful is linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa with a knee injury. |

A hearty appetite and a gift for drawing up defenses weren't the only things Jets coach Rex Ryan got from his daddy. You may recall Buddy Ryan liked to talk a little smack, too. Back when he was the defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears, the most fearsome unit in the NFL, the only thing that really scared his players was what might come out of Buddy's mouth next. He'd promise more knockouts than Muhammad Ali, then leave it to them to keep cashing his checks. After a while, it got old. ``Buddy w |

| the coach he replaced, Eric Mangini. ``This is who I am every day,'' Ryan said. ``I'm confident. Maybe that comes out in my personality.'' He clearly does things his way, just as his father, Buddy, did while he was defensive coordinator with the Chicago Bears and coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals. ``Got a lot of his dad in him, from that standpoint,'' Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress said. It's not the first time something like this has been done. Tennessee Titans coach Jef |

Green Bay opened the season with a 21-15 victory over the Chicago Bears. But going into Sunday's home game against Cincinnati, the team's offensive meetings have been anything but enjoyable exercises in backslapping. Rodgers called the offense's play Sunday ``unacceptable.''Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. |

| (MySportsbook) - There was no way to cast this one in a positive light. Six days before they would be forced to deal with the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the Chicago Bears were discussing how they could possibly move on following the season-ending wrist injury that had knocked the face of the franchise, Brian Urlacher, out of commission one day before. That the injury, a dislocation that required surgery, came in a 21-15 loss to the hated Green Bay Packers was like rubbing a mountai |
