• So here's something crazy: With a break or two, the
Chicago Bears could have playoff home-field advantage in the NFC. Still, whether they win the Super Bowl or not, "Ditka" is always going to sound cooler than "Lovie."
• We're really starting to maybe think that
Chesnning might really lead the Colts to an undefeated season. We did enjoy, however, in the postgame press conference, when Carson Palmer changed out of his uniform, dressed up but left on his eyeblack. Those cameras can get pretty bright.
