Less than full strength Lance Briggs still better than no Lance Briggs
Whether or not Lance Briggs gets medically cleared to play Sunday night he will not be the Lance Briggs you know and love. He hasn't played in 8 weeks.

And you're facing … [Read more...] about Less than full strength Lance Briggs still better than no Lance Briggs

Chicago Bears have given up 1.16 miles of rush yardage this season
The Chicago Bears are last in the NFL in run defense surrendering 157 yards per game. It is the worst run defense for the Chicago Bears since the 1950s.

Chicago Bears vs Dallas Cowboys: brutally honest preview
