Bears center Roberto Garza has won a two-year contract extension, and will remain with the team through 2013, the team confirmed Tuesday.
Yes, he's maddening. And he looks like that guy in college who you always wanted to punch in the mouth, just because. But Jay Cutler has also proven himself as the best QB in Bears history.
Matt Forte bounced back from two costly turnovers and Jay Cutler rallied the resilient Bears to a 30-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The surging Bears move to 5-3.
As expected, Bears offensive tackle is out for Monday night's contest against the Eagles.
Buddy Ryan coached the Bears defense to a Super Bowl Championship in 1985 and went on to be the Eagles' head coach for five seasons. Tonight, he'll be honored at halftime as the Bears and Eagles meet in Philadelphia.
The running back makes up nearly 50 percent of the Bears total offense, and one NFL expert expects the Bears to lean heavily on Forte in Monday's game against the Eagles.
Leading charge for the Eagles is the versatile Michael Vick, who's legs are just as much a threat as his arms. Add to that mix an explosive group of wide receivers and a running back rushing for over five yards per carry, and the Bears have a tantalizing challenge.
Bears head Coach Lovie Smith says the game Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles is "a huge game for us," but despite the Eagles' prowess on the field, "we think we can match up."
Another big game for the Bears as they travel to take on Philadelphia tonight. If the Bears can find a way to win, they put themselves in a great spot to continue the playoff race. A loss with a rested Detroit coming in next week makes things more difficult. Here are the matchups I'm looking at:
After missing his second consecutive practice, Bears offensive tackle Cabe Carimi has been ruled out for Monday night's game in Philadelphia.
