A team objective can be to take the crowd out of the game, and the Bears did exactly that Sunday. Unfortunately, the crowd they silenced was their own. Six turnovers, via three Rex Grossman interceptions and three fumbles, rendered Soldier Field nearly...

An extremely long and rewarding Sunday began with a challenge and ended with a Bears celebration not seen in this stadium since, well, forever, and not seen in Chicago since 2001. There's something about Jeff Garcia and interception returns for game-...

It's well-documented that politicians' hot air, not weather conditions, is why Chicago is called the Windy City. The nickname lived up to both meanings—correct or incorrect—Sunday at litter-strewn Soldier Field, where the goal posts shook more than...

If this eventually will be viewed as a statement game, then the man who had to speak through a fractured jaw made a loud one whose impact was surpassed only by the Bears' performance. "We responded," right tackle Fred Miller said. Good teams make...

As bad as the Bears looked for most of Monday night, the stunning manner in which they stole a 24-23 victory from the Arizona Cardinals only enhanced the perception that this might be their year. On a night when Rex Grossman turned the ball over six...

After barely hanging on during a dismal first half Sunday night, the Bears crushed the Giants with 28 points in less than 25 minutes of the second half for a 38-20 victory over a team that didn't show them much respect before the game. The result was a...

Thomas Jones contemplated the wreckage of Sunday's 21-9 loss to Pittsburgh, which convincingly ended the Bears' eight-game winning streak and featured more losses than just the final score. "Losing a game like this sometimes motivates you," Jones said....

Going into Friday night, Stephen King novels had more suspense than the Bears' depth chart. In lieu of position battles, precision was the focus. That precision still must be in Bourbonnais, at Halas Hall or back at O'Hare. It certainly didn't get...

It was a victory for a division championship that was anything but cause for celebration. The Bears lost their best defensive lineman, Tommie Harris, with an apparent knee injury. Their Pro Bowl cornerback, Nathan Vasher, left the game with a strained...

In what might turn out to be the first game of Brett Favre's swan song season, Rex Grossman stole the show early and the Bears defense handed the gunslinger the first shutout of his career. Grossman came out firing after a shaky preseason, completing his...

Here come the Chicago Bears. Impressive runaway winners of their first two games -- each a division game -- the Bears will be on their way to a second consecutive NFC North championship if they can defeat a third straight division opponent Sunday in...
