Bears Win a Big One Sunday Night
I’m starting to get the feeling that the Chicago Bears should play all there games on Sunday night. They looked great on offense in the first half and then great on defense in the second half. What I liked the most, was that the Bears came away with seven points instead of just a field [...]
