Paul Edinger

You are not going to believe this one. Remember the San Francisco game last week? When the Bears scored two touchdowns late in the fourth quarter, then won in overtime when safety Mike Brown intercepted a deflected pass and scored the winning touchdown?...

Hero I: Jim Miller. Awful first half. Awfully gutty second half—12-of-17 for 188 yards and a TD. The TD. Unsung hero I: Bernard Robertson. All the worry about the untested left tackle, and Robertson's man still hasn't come within 5 yards of Miller on the...

Up in the air it hung—the ball and possibly Dick Jauron's future. Jauron later said he didn't think anybody had an idea how good a kick Paul Edinger's game-winning 45-yard field goal into the teeth of a 22-m.p.h. wind Sunday at Soldier Field really was....

A Sunday that began with hope drawn from a week-ago win over the once-hated Green Bay Packers ended as many have lately for the Bears at Soldier Field--in ignominy. But this time it was worse. In a season of lows, a new one was reached. At the end of...

Had the Bears shown as much spunk during Sunday's 12-10 loss to the Detroit Lions as they did after it, they might not have left as losers of their 12th straight road game. Before walking off Ford Field after Jason Hanson kicked a game-winning 48-yard...

The Bears made their last Monday night appearance of the season by playing the cooperative guest at someone else's party. They caused no trouble but encountered some more, possibly losing quarterback Jim Miller for what's left of the season with a knee...

The Bears saw something they wanted very much to see, the big play.. They also saw something that should concern them, the running game, in their 27-24 exhibition loss to the Tennessee Titans in front of a crowd of 68,768 in Adelphia Coliseum. Coach Dick...

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...

Halloween night in Chicago and hopefully it will not be a frightening game for rookie quarterback Craig Krenzel and the Bears as they take on the San Francisco 49ers. Adam Caldarelli, as usual, will be taking your e-mail questions. He'll try to find...

They made a contest of it. On a nationally televised Sunday night with their peers presumably watching, it seemed that was all the Bears were capable of doing. Avoid colossal embarrassment. Perhaps regain some lost respectability. But win? Against an...
