LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -If Jay Cutler's salivating at the thought of passing to Terrell Owens, he wasn't about to let the public in on it. The Chicago Bears quarterback refused to say Wednesday whether he's like the team to acquire the flashy and controversial receiver from Buffalo. Asked what he would say if Bears management approached him about Owens, Cutler responded: ``I don't think they're going to. I think they'll do that upstairs.'' Asked if he's texted or tweeted Owens, Cutler simply said he |

LIONS: One week after ripping his team publicly following a one-sided loss at the Chicago Bears, Detroit head coach Jim Schwartz was in a slightly better mood following his club's 28-20 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Rested after a much-needed bye, the Chicago Bears had some time to heal over the weekend. Good thing for them. They're a little healthier now after absorbing their share of bumps and bruises in the early going as they head to Atlanta, the site of one of their most painful losses a year ago. Linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa appears ready to go after tearing the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the opener against Green Bay. So does receiver Devin Hester after leav |

Then the Cardinals visit the New York Giants (5-0), come home to play the Carolina Panthers (1-3) and visit the Chicago Bears (3-1). The Cardinals' 28-21 victory over Houston on Sunday provided a snapshot of what's good and bad about them. On the plus side, the passing attack remains potent. Quarterback Kurt Warner completed 20 of 23 passes for 262 yards and two touchd |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -The Chicago Bears still have a ways to go before they instill the sort of fear that gripped opponents back in 1985, or during the days of Dick Butkus. They're off to a good start, though. The Bears have won three straight and are 3-1 heading into their bye, thanks in part to a pass rush that has produced 14 sacks - third in the league behind Minnesota and Denver. It's a big improvement for a group that returned mostly intact even though it struggled to take down the quarterback |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Jay Cutler took off and got spun around like the propeller on a helicopter before crashing in the end zone last week. He was fine. The Chicago Bears are looking pretty good, too. With their franchise quarterback delivering as promised after a shaky debut, they're soaring into the bye week with three straight wins and a 3-1 record. ``I think we're on pace to where we want to be,'' Cutler said. Leading the way is the quarterback whose arrival in the offseason sent expectation |

Stafford, the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, had the knee twisted on a sack in Sunday's 48-24 loss against the Chicago Bears. Daunte Culpepper replaced Stafford on the Detroit's next possession, and Stafford got the knee wrapped on the sideline.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -The Chicago Bears keep picking up wins and injuries. Good thing for them they have a bye this week. Although they've won three straight, the Bears could use some recovery time after Devin Hester became the latest high-profile addition to the wounded list with an injury to the shoulder area during Sunday's 48-24 win over Detroit. Coach Lovie Smith says Hester ``should be fine,'' but whether he'll be ready for Atlanta in two weeks remains to be seen. The same goes for backup runn |
