One more Bears thing: 59 offensive points. No defensive or ST touchdowns. That's rare for #DaBears. It's the first time since week 11 1957 when the Chicago Bears beat the Baltimore Colts 57-0 without a special teams or defensive touchdown.

If the score holds, it's a Bearigami. And only the second 52-37 game in NFL history (Rams-Giants in 1948).

Fun fact: the 1926 & 1927 New York Yankees football team had TWO players nicknamed Iceman: Red Grange and Eddie Tryon, who played pro just two years. In '26, he led the AFL in scoring, and was near the top in '27 in the NFL. @berckes.bsky.social @wiltfongjr.bsky.social @samhouseholder.bsky.social

Had to put down our 15-year-old cat in December. Told my wife I wanted to be pet-free for at least a year, maybe longer. Enjoy a house that didn't have a litter box or cat fur everywhere. We adopted two orange cats in April.

90s also had Chelios and Savard on the Hawks. Jordan/Thomas/Sosa/Chelios is quite a set.

Sam Householder @samhouseholder.bsky.social · 29/01/2026
The closest I can come is the mid-80s you had Payton/Jordan/Dawson/Fisk and in the '90s Jordan/Thomas/Sosa. But Payton didn't really line up with Jordan necessarily and the overlap with baseball superstars was brief.

At least if you go down blitzing, it’s like “at least your tried something.” If you continue to just let Love sit back and pick you apart and have CBs and LBs flailing desperately at the Packers receivers, well we already know what that looks like. #DaBears
