Patrick Corbin’s signing with the Nationals broke the ice on MLB’s hot stove and the Michael-and-Brett tag team was on it. Corbin reportedly received a contract worth $140 million over six years. Or in other words, $1 million less than what Khalil Mack received from the Bears, which was the biggest contract ever handed out to a defensive player in NFL history. Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?
Nagy on the Bears negative runs: "Some are mental errors, execution wise. Other times we could put @walterpayton back there and not get any yards." #Bears

When Matt Nagy said there were some plays vs. New York on which "we could Walter Payton back there and he’s not getting any yards," this first run of the second half is an example. Nobody blocks Giants DT Dalvin Tomlinson, and there wasn't much Jordan Howard could do. pic.twitter.com/vZQvcQhFl7

I don't bet but I would go under 52.5 on Rams-Bears, especially if Trubisky remains out. The Bears have a stout run defense and a league-high 21 interceptions, and Rams scored 23 points in frigid Denver. It will be in 20s in Chicago.

Interesting – the Lions used UDFA rookie Mike Ford to shadow Brandin Cooks and occasionally had Darius Slay travel with Robert Woods yesterday.

Today's @kfishbain #FunFact: Harry Hiestand has been tasked with developing a blocking scheme for Aaron Donald once. Notre Dame's offensive line limited him to one tackle and one QB hit in a game in 2013. pic.twitter.com/APLoXGnu0Y

#Bears fans are obviously rooting for Seattle this week but they should be rooting for the #Eagles as well. A Dallas win + Bears loss puts Cowboys at 3-seed in NFC.

Redskins’ HC Jay Gruden said Colin Kaepernick was discussed to bolster the team's depleted quarterbacking ranks, but said "we'll probably go in a different direction" because of the compressed time frame and the need to get someone ready quickly.
