| (MySportsbook) - The undefeated Green Bay Packers will attempt to extend their lengthy winning streak this Sunday night, when they play host to the struggling Chicago Bears at historic Lambeau Field. The Packers improved to 4-0 with a 23-16 win over the Vikings last weekend and have won eight in a row dating back to last season. Green Bay began a season with four straight wins for the first time since 1998, and will shoot for its first 5-0 start since 1965. The club won an NFL Championship that year. The win |

But four weeks later... no such concession speeches have been written. Taking their place alongside the Green Bay Packers as the NFC surprise of the season's first quarter, the Buccaneers head into the RCA Dome this weekend nursing a one-game lead in the conference's South Division, having gone on the road to dump Carolina last week and improve to 3-1.

Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress and defensive end Osi Umenyiora did not practice on Thursday, but both are expected to be ready for Sunday's contest. Um |

The Redskins' defensive backs will earn their money in October. Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers are next on the schedule, and Tom Brady and the New England Patriots pop up two weeks later. ``You can't say we'd like a running team,'' Rogers said. ``Because at times for a corner you get bored out there.

Woodhead's run for the record has brought unprecedented exposure for undefeated Chadron State, whose best-known football alum is former Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers receiver Don Beebe. The unassuming Woodhead has taken it all in stride and deflects credit to his teammates and coaches. ``It hasn't affected me, the way I approach the game or play the game,'' said Woodhead, who last year set an all-division sing |

MILWAUKEE (AP) -Grabbing a microphone and bellowing ``I told you so'' to his critics would be out of character for Ted Thompson, the Green Bay Packers' quiet man. Which is fine, because the 4-0 team he has assembled is doing it for him. Since taking over the Superfund-eligible roster left over from Mike Sherman's stint as Packers' general manager in 2005, Thompson has been treated harshly by fans who consider him a conservative cheapskate, unwilling to spend a salary cap surplus on big-name players.

Sure, they aren't playing, but when you are inventing new ways to lose each and every Sunday, the bye can be a tonic.

And, things are only going to get uglier in the Twin Cities. The opening four weeks of t |
