Bears Keep On Keepin On

After a week of pressure heaped on the back of Rex Grossman by Chicago football fans grilling him on the local talk radio and newspapers he responded with a game that the team of the caliber that he is playing on deserves in yesterdays pretty convincing win against St Louis on Monday Night Football.

Hopefully his consistency will improve for the remainder of the season's drive towards the Super Bowl.

Grossman quiets critics with display of old form; Hester returns two kickoffs for TDs

Chicago Sun Times ST. LOUIS -- The Rex Grossman watch was so intense, when Hunter Hillenmeyer stepped off a team bus Monday at the Edward Jones Dome, a posse of cameras was trained directly on the Bears linebacker.

''I had eight cameras right in my face,'' Hillenmeyer said. ''I didn't have the heart to say, 'You've got the wrong guy.'''

The pressure on Grossman was that real as the Bears arrived in St.Louis, intent on maintaining their lead atop the NFC. In some circles, the question was when, not if, Brian Griese would replace Grossman, who has been called the quarterback of the future for four seasons.

Not so fast. Devin Hester made NFL history with kickoff returns for touchdowns of 94 and 96 yards, and Grossman delivered his best performance in a month, staving off the calls for his ouster and securing a first-round bye in the playoffs for the Bears, who improved to 11-2 with a 42-27 victory over the Rams. With three games to go, they hold a two-game lead on the New Orleans Saints (9-4) for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. read more
