The Ravens no longer are digging a deeper hole for themselves in the AFC Central race. It's time to put this team to rest.Barring one of the greatest late-season runs in NFL history, the Ravens buried any playoff aspirations under a 45-19 loss to the...

Bears fans waiting to see the sleeker model of the new and improved "A-Train" are still waiting. Bears running back Anthony Thomas, seeing his first action Saturday night since breaking his finger Dec. 1, responded much like a guy who hadn't carried...

If the Bears had some questions of game officials after being called for 12 penalties last week, they had even more Sunday after a bizarre sequence of events that officials refused to explain at the time or afterward. With 40 seconds left in the game,...

Hero I: Jim Miller. Awful first half. Awfully gutty second half—12-of-17 for 188 yards and a TD. The TD. Unsung hero I: Bernard Robertson. All the worry about the untested left tackle, and Robertson's man still hasn't come within 5 yards of Miller on the...

Late in the first quarter, Bears quarterback Chris Chandler was sacked by Jets defensive end John Abraham. Left tackle Mike Gandy, who was beaten for the sack, approached Chandler afterward. "I have him," Gandy reassured Chandler. "Don't worry."...

The Bears spent Monday much the same way they did the previous two Mondays—assessing injuries, contemplating personnel moves and getting ready for the next game. Except without the glow of a victory. With local angst rising, the Bears were left to...

Do you think it's a coincidence that the Bears' running game is not as good with Stanley Pritchett at FB as it is with Daimon Shelton? I think good FBs are totally under-hyped. Good fullbacks (Griffith in Denver when Davis was awesome, Moose in Dallas...

It was not the kind of unveiling the Bears were seeking. After a 13-3 season in 2001, the Bears bumbled through a less-than-auspicious start to what they believe should be a Super Bowl season, losing 27-3 Saturday night to the Denver Broncos in their...

The Bears had a statement to make Sunday and the New York Jets were the ones who had to pay for it, possibly with their playoff hopes. The Jets (7-7) came to Champaign expecting a walkover similar to the one the Miami Dolphins enjoyed Monday night...
