Coach Dennis Green stripped Rowen, a 23-year NFL coaching veteran, of his offensive coordinator duties on Tuesday morning, a few hours after the Cardinals blew a 20-point lead in a 24-23 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night. In announcing the move, Green said the offense wasn't scoring enough points, although it put up 23 against a Chicago defense that had conceded a total of 36 in its first five games.

Actually, Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt and Rutgers coach Greg Schiano did. Wannstedt, the former Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears coach, thought so highly of Schiano that he hired him as an assistant coach with the Bears. The two have considerable respect for one another, and each predicted the other would build a strong program. ``I knew it was just a matter of time,'' Schi |

| -The Indianapolis Colts, one of just two unbeaten teams remaining in the NFL, have control of their division and appeared to fill their biggest hole on defense with a rare midseason trade. Unlike last season, it's gone mostly unnoticed. With the Chicago Bears moving into the spotlight, the Colts like it right where they seem to be. ``Everyone's talking about the Bears,'' defensive tackle Montae Reagor said. ``We like being under the radar. Hey, we're 5-0 and we've not played our best ball yet.'' Sure |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Chicago Bears safety Mike Brown hobbled into the locker room on crutches, his right foot covered by a large cast and his season for the unbeaten Bears over. One of Chicago's most important defenders, Brown was put on injured reserve Thursday after surgery a day earlier to repair ligament damage in the foot. He was injured in a pileup during Monday night's victory over Arizona. It's the third time in as many seasons Brown's been forced to the sidelines by a different leg injury. |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Hunter Hillenmeyer checked his cell phone the next morning and found 10 brief messages, each of them expressing amazement at what the Chicago Bears had done. ``I think the half of America that had turned the game off woke up (Tuesday) wondering what had happened,'' said Hillenmeyer, the Bears linebacker. What happened was this: Chicago trailed by 20 late in the third quarter, but pulled out a 24-23 win at Arizona on Monday. In between, a defense that had been pushed around |

| Lake Forest, IL (MySportsbook) - Chicago Bears safety Mike Brown is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn ligament in his right foot.

"He's just a special player and I might add that he was having an outstanding game. He got a game ball." Leg injuries have plagued the Pro Bowl safety over |

Harbaugh knows a bit about that, having gone from Michigan to the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 1987 NFL draft. He also played for Indianapolis, Baltimore, San Diego and Carolina. Most of Harbaugh's players will have to be content simply to be able to play college ball. The average Torero player is ``the kind of k |
