After a record-setting effort returning kickoffs against the Vikings, it appears Devin Hester is close to scoring again.
Two weeks into the regular season, no two stats stand out more for the Chicago Bears than these.
While the NFL is not quite Arena Football, it has been moving in that direction for years.
Following the 2013 season, Bears general manager Phil Emery will have to make the most important decision in his tenure with the team.
If you're wondering why Julius Peppers looked a little slow in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Vikings, it's because he was.
Time offers the opportunity for perspective, so I thought it would be a good idea to wait each week to give my thoughts on the Bears game.
Bears coach Marc Trestman said the team's game-winning touchdown drive against the Vikings on Sunday "couldn't have been better," but there are definitely improvements the team needs to make going forward.
Win or lose, the Bears' final drive Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings was going to reflect either positively or negatively on Jay Cutler.
Just like they planned it, right? It seems fitting that such an odd, back-and-forth, punch-counter punch, roller coaster ride of a game went down to the wire and was decided by one point.

Jay Cutler threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett with 10 seconds left to lead the Chicago Bears to a 31-30 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
It's almost always the same defensive key against the Vikings twice a season. Adrian Peterson is the reason. He's one blown gap assignment, one missed tackle, and one sharp cut in space away from the end zone on every handoff.

Martellus Bennett won't shut up. He won't stop trying to get better.
Brian Urlacher said he heard from just about everyone from the Bears after he announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons.
Surprisingly enough, the Bengals chose to double team tight end Martellus Bennett.
Wins and losses are always attached with quarterback evaluations, and so is how they win.
For most, the Bears' 24-21 win over the Bengals on Sunday was a breath of fresh air.
Adam Hoge reviews the film and provides his observations from the Bears' win.
Marc Trestman called the Bears' 24-21 win over the Bengals a "team win" but the head coach saw plenty of room for improvement, specifically with the running game and the defensive line.
Here's what I saw, what I heard and what I was told from the Bears-Bengals game.
After getting a win in his first game as an NFL head coach, Marc Trestman said he appreciated receiving the game ball from team captain Lance Briggs, but said he wished everyone in the organization could have gotten one.
One team was steady and collected. The other was stupid and careless.
Ballsy. That's how the quarterback described his new head coach and play-caller after the Bears' 24-21 season-opening win over the Bengals Sunday.
