I would have posted this yesterday, but I have returned home to my parents' house for the holidays, and most of Tuesday was spent waiting in airports for delayed flights.
Here's a nice summary of the Bears' 40-14 romp over the Vikings. All pictures are from the AP (as in the news service, not Adrian Peterson), and the Chicago Tribune.
I'm not going to lie. Considering the Bears got roasted like chestnuts the last time they played in a snow-globe, I was nervous as heck about this game, sitting in my boyfriend's apartment eating all sorts of cookies to steady my nerves.
And then, after the Vikings scored, came the sack heard around the world. Six-foot-six (and 270 lb) defensive end Corey Wootton may have very well ended Brett Favre's career last night with his first sack.
And from then on, it was pretty much all Bears. To quote the late Don Meredith: turn out the lights, the party's over.
Other than throwing a bogus interception after getting hit so hard he needed three stitches to his chin, Jay Cutler was terrific, throwing three touchdowns and completing passes to seven different receivers, including guys we haven't seen for a while, like Rashied Davis (nice to see you again, Rashied!).
Also: I have an idea. Since the NFL likes penalizing people for ridiculous things from "excessive celebration" to "disconcerting signals," and likes fining people for even dumber things, how about we fine any team that gets utterly torched by punting/kicking to Devin Hester? The penalty: sheer stupidity.
Of course, we can't neglect the defense. The Monsters of The Midway not only knocked Favre from the game, but had five turnovers, four sacks, three more QB hits, two batted balls, and a partridge in a pear tree.10-4. See y'all in the playoffs, folks.
