Hayden reeled in his first interception of the season late in the fourth quarter as the Cardinals were looking to rally back. Some bad news for the Bears was the exit of safety Chris Conte. He left the game early in the second half with a ha...

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger?

Challenge….accepted. Chicago Bears future Hall of Fame Inside Linebacker Brian Urlacher  re-iterated something the other day which has piqued my interest for a couple of months now. Half of his sentiment drew staunch criticism from all sources but the other half, at least to some extent, rings true. Last weekend, the previously 7-1 Bears slipped to 8-6, having lost 5 of the last...
