Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Defense going for the record

by Adam T on Dec 20, 2005 1:08 PM CST in News

The Bears (10-4) need to allow 13 points or fewer over the last two games against their NFC North rivals to become the best scoring defense in NFL history. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens, who went on to win Super Bowl XXXV, allowed 165, and the Bears have surrendered 151 after their 16-3 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night.

Go Bears!

Nine Points or less

Shoot, 13 points would be nice. But if the Bears REALLY want to leave their mark on this season, aim high for 9 points or less. That will leave them with an unfathomable 10ppg or less. And with GB and Minn having difficulties putting points on the board, it is doable.

The problem is...

If we win on Sunday and the Giants lose AND Seattle wins, I believe we are locked into the 2nd playoff seed. Making the last game of the season in Minn meaningless. I doubt our starters would even play much.

Playoff Berth

If the Panthers win out and we beat GB but lose to MN, I believe that would make us a 3 seed because of records. If we win out and Carolina wins out, we're a 2 seed because of head to head match-up.

Point being, we can relax in MN only if Carolina loses.

Needless to say I'm rooting for the 'Skins this weekend. (and Cowboys too...)
