I wanted to believe that the Chicago Bears would have no problem against the San Francisco 49ers today, but after the near debacle in that Monday Night game against Arizona a couple weeks ago, I wasn’t going to take anything for granted. Apparently, neither were the Bears.

They came out storming!! Chicago scored 24 points in the 1st Quarter alone (a 43-yard field goal by Robbie Gould, a 7-yard touchdown run from Thomas Jones, a 5-yard TD reception from Muhsin Muhammad, and a 1-yard scamper by Cedric Benson). That was the most points the usually anemic Chicago offense has scored in the first quarter in the history of the franchise! (AP Photo)

But they weren’t done there. Rex Grossman added two more touchdown tosses to tight end Desmond Clark (from 1 yard out and from 27 yards out) and Gould kicked another field goal to put the Bears up 41-0 at halftime. From there, the team pretty much just coasted. Backup QB Brian Griese relieved Grossman in the 4th Quarter, and the defense recovered four fumbles and forced an interception while yielding just 10 garbage points late in the game. (AP Photo)

The Indianapolis Colts also won, which means Indy and the Bears are still the only two remaining undefeated teams in the NFL. Let’s hope one of them runs the table this year to finally put an end to that obnoxious tradition of the 1972 Miami Dolphins. (AP Photo)
