Only to the Boston media was this unexpected.  McMahon has done it every
time this season that (1) he had to, and (2) he was healthy.  He almost
did it against the Dolphins, in spite of not being healthy.

The Bears offense was mostly dull this season, because it rarely needed
to be anything else.

I had some question about whether the Bears would beat the Patriots in
a single game.  In a seven game series, there was never any doubt.  Does
anybody really think the Patriots could win more than one game in five
against the Bears?
