Chris Chandler

A look at how each player on the 2003 roster came to be a Bear. Thirty-two of the 53 players on the active roster (60.4%) were either draftees of the Bears or undrafted free agents signed with the Bears. Only one player (R.W. McQuarters) was acquired via...

Good thing for the Bears that cornerback R.W. McQuarters' memory is shorter than his hair. The last time McQuarters tried stopping the opponent's elite wide receiver while trying to protect a fourth-quarter lead at Soldier Field, two weeks ago Sunday...

For the first time in a month or so, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked like a football team Monday night though scoring just often enough to put down the New York Giants, 19-13. In the fourth quarter, they never missed a beat after the Giants hit them with...

It's New Orleans this week. Home of paper-bag-wearing fans, the Neville and Marsalis clans, crawfish Po' Boys, Girls Gone Wild and Super Bowl XX. Bears 46, Patriots 10. Grab your beignets and café au lait. Aiee! This game's in Champaign, I'm told....

Marty Booker was limited to one catch Sunday, his fewest since the third game of last season, as the Lions were determined to make someone else in the Bears' receiver corps beat them. Booker made the one count for a 14-yard touchdown just before...

Q The Bears are not going anywhere with Jim Miller at quarterback. Even when they were 13-3 last season, it was clear teams such as the Eagles with Donovan McNabb and the Packers with Brett Favre had a distinct advantage. When will the Bears wise up and...

Late in the first quarter, Bears quarterback Chris Chandler was sacked by Jets defensive end John Abraham. Left tackle Mike Gandy, who was beaten for the sack, approached Chandler afterward. "I have him," Gandy reassured Chandler. "Don't worry."...

The Bears, remember them? It seems like ages ago since that Monday night pasting by the Packers. In reality it was only two weeks ago and the Bears and their fans have had the bye week to either dwell on it or forget about it. This week it's the Lions,...

With his arms extended and his palms facing the sky, quarterback Chris Chandler made the universal signal for "huh?" as he looked toward the Bears' sideline. Seven seconds remained in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the St. Louis Rams, and the Bears had run out...
