The Pro Bowl came and went without the Bears’ representatives sustaining any major injuries. Hooray!
It was a sloppy and sluggish game that didn’t look like what you would expect from a collection of stars, but there are worse ways to spend a snowed-in Sunday afternoon. For example, Sunday’s Pro Bowl kept me from paying my hard-earned money to see my alma mater’s men’s basketball team get trounced by 25 at Loyola. At some point, the powers that be at SIU have to cut bait with Head Coach Barry Hinson the same way Bears GM Ryan Pace did with John Fox … right?

Kyle Fuller is the first Bears player to intercept a pass in the Pro Bowl since Nathan Vasher in the 2006 Pro Bowl (capping 2005 season). Vasher led the Bears with a career-high eight interceptions in 2005.

0 points in 50 minutes with a team full of Pro Bowlers and suddenly I understand why Cowboys fans hate Jason Garrett.

Most Valuable Teammate goes to @Lions @_bigplayslay23 – Shared his jacket w/division foe @ChicagoBears Kyle Fuller until Fuller ran onto the field. @MikeEvans13_ sat down next & Darius immediately shared it with him. Said Slay, “I just want to make sure everyone is warm” #MVT pic.twitter.com/m4lqJQ8LVv

Heading to ATL for @SuperBowl, the future of #Steelers WR Antonio Brown remains the dominant non-SB story. Where things stand: While a fresh start is now the preferred outcome, the team has not yet given Brown & his agent permission to facilitate a trade. It’s in the team’s hands
