Joseph Addai's stat line is pretty impressive right now. At the end of three quarters, he's got 17 carries for 63 yards, and 10 receptions for 66 yards. That's 27 touches out of a rookie running back. He's gotta be the MVP at this point. Long ways away from being a backup running back much of last year at LSU.
The Bears begin a march that could very well become the defining drive of Rex Grossman's career. He hits Mushin Muhammad for 22 yards and the place is rocking. Somehow, some way, the Bears are only down 5 points, with the ball, in the fourth quarter of a game they've been absolutely outplayed in.
And just as I type those words, Grossman throws a pick six. Devastating. How about that play for Kelvin Hayden. Nick Harper gets replaced, and here comes Hayden-a guy who no one even bothered interviewing on Media Day-intercepting a ball and running it back 56 yards for a back-breaking score.
And just as everyone in the press area is whispering, "Bench Rex?" "Griese time?" Grossman goes out and throws another pick, this one intercepted by Bob Sanders.
And as everyone in Colts blue and white are going wild in the stadium, the Bears fans fall silent. No more "Ditka", no more "Da Bears" at every swivel of the head. Rather, just a soaking wet fan base, collectively shaking their heads in confusion.
The scoreboard shows John Travolta up in a luxury suite. He's smiling and waving. Apparently, he's not much of a Bears fan.
