Chicagobearscom LM: Adewale Ogunleye had 2.5 of Bears' 5 sacks in Sunday's 48-24 win over Lions. Ogunleye (4.5) and Bears (14) both lead NFC in sacks.

Chicagobearscom LM:Lions coach Jim Schwartz lamenting total domination by Bears in second half: "(Even) their trainers were probably better than ours."

ZachZaidman Bears postgame quote of the day: "48 points," said Lance Briggs. "You shouldn’t lose games when you get 48 points.

ZachZaidman Brad Maynard is a star: He punted 4 times. All landed inside the 20 and none were able to be returned. 38.0 net

ZachZaidman Ogunleye now has 40 sacks in 6 years with the Bears. The Bears are 10-2 when Ogunleye has multiple sacks. He had 2.5 sacks today.

ZachZaidman Forte's 61-yard run was the longest run by a Bears running back since Anthony Thomas had a 67-yard touchdown run on 9/29/03 vs. GB

ZachZaidman If you are into passer ratings: Cutler is the first Bears quarterback since 1970 to have a 100-plus passer rating in three straight contests

ZachZaidman "One of the worst [halves] of football I’ve ever been associated with," said Jim Schwartz. "We were out-coached. We were out-played."

ZachZaidman "We’ve got to be happy about that," said Ogunleye of 3-1 start. "You could say we’re one or two plays away from being 1-3."

ZachZaidman Credit to Bears college scouting dept. & Dave Toub for finding a never ending supply of returners

richeisen Well, @GLi23 just confirmed: 25 @ RT bamagrad01 Curious about how many of P.Manning's TDs have been a rookie's 1st NFL TD of their career.

richeisen I love Fast Willy Parker, but Rashard Mendenhall is turning him into Wally Pipp tonight.

OGOchoCinco Next celebration--streak after a td like Ricky Bobby in Talledega Nights when he thought he was in fire<---awesome

mortreport Barring a major surprise on Stafford, he shouldn't miss one or two games is what I'm told. But, again,Lions hold breath til MRI.

mortreport M. Stafford's sublixation could mean he puts on a brace & plays but MRI will determine if any cartilage damage when knee popped ouit & in.

Adam_Schefter This is how bleak it is in Oakland, according to ESPN stats guru Russell Baxter: Darrius Heyward-Bey has more names than catches (2).
