Former Backup QB Most Famous For Running Out of the Back of the End Zone Gives Bears No Chance on Saturday

The Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers on Saturday at Soldier Field in the Wild Card Round. The game is viewed by many — including Prime Video’s bank account — as the game of the week in the NFL’s opening round.

Flyers GM Briere says success won’t change trade deadline plans

Coming into this season, no one really expected the Philadelphia Flyers to be a top 10 team in the NHL by the time the calendar flipped to 2026.
