| (MySportsbook) - Those that remember the 1985 Chicago Bears typically exercise caution when comparing others to them. Mike Ditka's 1985 team rolled through the campaign at 15-1, outscored three playoff opponents by a composite score of 91-10, and boasted indisputable legends like Walter Payton, Mike Singletary, Jim McMahon, and Richard Dent. The '85 Bears were so dominant, such an unstoppable force with such an incomparable confluence of talent, that ranking another team in their class seems like a sacril |

We know we are.'' Other than a 34-7 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 2, the Lions have had a chance to win in the fourth quarter of every game, yet have repeatedly fallen apart down the stretch. ``We know how close we are,'' said safety Terrence Holt. ``Look at how many times we've been in the game to the e |

The club has a much- needed bye to regroup and try to salvage something from this season. The undefeated Chicago Bears are next on the schedule, and they likely will be 7-0 when the teams meet at Soldier Field on November 5. The Bears come off their bye this week and host San Francisco on Sunday. One of the most memorable games in this series, and in NFL history, ca |

Before San Francisco's bye weekend, Davis was eager to get back on the field against Chicago. Now he's taking a more realistic approach. ``I kind of want to |

| (MySportsbook) - The Arizona Cardinals hope they can alleviate the sting of a heartbreaking Monday night loss when they head to the Coliseum this Sunday to battle the winless Oakland Raiders. The Cardinals did so many things right against the Chicago Bears, who in turn made a mind-boggling number of mistakes for a winning team. Chicago turned the ball over six times, didn't score an offensive touchdown and trailed 23-3 with under two minutes left in the third quarter. However, none of that stopped the Bea |

Coach Dennis Green stripped Rowen, a 23-year NFL coaching veteran, of his offensive coordinator duties on Tuesday morning, a few hours after the Cardinals blew a 20-point lead in a 24-23 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night. In announcing the move, Green said the offense wasn't scoring enough points, although it put up 23 against a Chicago defense that had conceded a total of 36 in its first five games.

Actually, Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt and Rutgers coach Greg Schiano did. Wannstedt, the former Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears coach, thought so highly of Schiano that he hired him as an assistant coach with the Bears.
