Luckily for the Bears, sandwiched between games 5 thru 8 is their bye week in week 6. And the next quartet of opponents appears to be a less daunting bunch… on paper. But the Jaguars, … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears Season Outlook: 2nd Quarter

Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning

By

The Indianapolis Colts won't go 0-16. We know that much. The Colts' 27-13 victory against division rival Tennessee on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium -- Indy's first win of the 2011 season -- prevented the franchise from going down in NFL history with the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the 2008 Detroit Lions, the only two teams to ever finish a season without a win. But beyond … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning
