LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -The Chicago Bears lined up to support Rex Grossman after another shaky performance by their young quarterback. ``He's our quarterback,'' Pro Bowl center Olin Kreutz said Monday. ``I mean, we're not like trying to convince everybody that he is a good quarterback. He is a good quarterback.'' Grossman's turnovers have come in waves and often detracted from the team's 9-2 start. He threw three more interceptions - running his season total to 14 - and fumbled at the 5-yard line on a |

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -The New England Patriots have a week of challenges following their big win over the Chicago Bears. They must replace injured linebacker Junior Seau, reduce their turnovers and remember to not overlook their next opponent, the lowly Detroit Lions. Oh, and the coaches might want to restrain Tom Brady from doing more open-field running and risking injury. But the quarterback's limited scrambling skills paid off in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Chicago Bears. His 11-yard scamper - |

| points to a defense that gives up yards through the air by the truckload. Yet there they sit, after Sunday's 31-26 victory over Arizona, one game out in the NFC playoff race. ``We're still in it,'' cornerback Antoine Winfield said Monday. The Chicago Bears (9-2) may have a stranglehold on the NFC North, but the Vikings (5-6) are just behind Carolina and the New York Giants for the two wild-card spots. ``I'm never surprised by anything in this league,'' right tackle Mike Rosenthal said. ``Anything ca |

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -The New England Patriots placed linebacker Junior Seau on injured reserve Monday after he seriously injured his right arm in Sunday's 17-13 with over the Chicago Bears. The 12-time Pro Bowl selection will miss the rest of the season after coming out of a brief retirement to join the Patriots this summer. Seau was hurt with less than nine minutes left in the second quarter, apparently when his right arm hit the back of Cedric Benson's foot when he tackled the Chicago running bac |

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -New England Patriots linebacker Junior Seau, who came out of retirement for one last run at a Super Bowl, left Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears with an injury to his right arm and would not return. After initially reporting his return was doubtful, the team said in the third quarter that Seau was out for the game. The 12-time Pro Bowl selection went to the turf with just under nine minutes left in the second quarter after tackling Cedric Benson for no gain at the Chicago |

Lovie Smith is delighted his Chicago Bears won the first two games of their three-game Northeast road trip. He should be, because those wins just about locked up home-field advantage in the NFC. What they also proved is that even the best teams in the NFL are only a smidgen or two better than mediocre, a notion reinforced last week when Dallas handed Indianapolis its first loss, a defeat that had been pending since the first week of the season. Yes, 9-1 is 9-1. ``Winning isn't everything, it's the onl |

| this is like beyond that. ``I think it says a lot that his backup (Aaron Rodgers) gets in for a little bit (last week) and now he's out for the year.'' So does the fact the Seahawks have started 12 quarterbacks since Favre began his streak. The Chicago Bears have started 20 in that span. ``It's unbelievable,'' Holmgren said. ``It's one of the more remarkable things in sports history.'' Favre has 13 touchdown passes and only seven interceptions this season after leading the league with 29 picks last |

| (MySportsbook) - With the top spot in the NFC all but locked up before the calendar has even flipped to December, the Chicago Bears can no longer run from comparisons to 1985. It was '85 when the Bears were last the conference's unquestioned top dog, and it was '85 when the Monsters of the Midway last reached the Super Bowl. The 2006 edition of the Bears played right into the parallels three weeks ago when, just like that fabled team of 21 years prior, they suffered their first and to date only loss of th |
