The Bears’ offense should be ashamed for torturing the kids watching on Nickelodeon
I feel sorry for every child who tuned in to that Bears-Saints game Sunday evening. They deserved better than to see Mitch Trubisky and Matt Nagy completely wreck the Bears offense. Those two probably decreased the team’s end-zone “slime probability” by more than 50 percent by themselves....

The Saints come into the final day of the NFL regular season with an outside shot at the top seed in the NFC and the bye next week that comes with it.
