The NFL has started to take head injures much more serious this season. Players are being held out of games that, in the past, they would have played in.

The Bears lost to the New England Patriots 36-7 on Sunday afternoon, in a snowy and cold day. It was the Bears' first loss since October, and while they were able to keep their first place lead, the loss might also serve as a wake up call.

Eleven years ago, I was sitting in the press box at Michigan Stadium, watching the Wolverines storm to a 27-7 lead over Illinois midway through the third quarter when a kindly, gray-haired U. of M. alum seated in my row leaned in toward me.
The Metrodome roof collapsed under pressure of the snow fall that Minneapolis received over the weekend. WATCH HERE.
Every Bears loss has felt devastating this season. Jay Cutler was nearly sacked to death in New York. You don't lose to Seattle at home. You don't lose to the Redskins at home.
