Bears in the NFL: Week 3

Another benefit to a Cal bye week, is an added opportunity to check out how some of our Bears did in the pros this weekend. An enjoyable week in the NFL with my Niners crushing the hapless Lions, despite my fantasy teams choking big time this weekend...

Marshawn Lynch churned out another strong performance with 83 yards on 23 rushes, and 2 TDs in Buffalo’s come from behind win against the Raiders. Lynch also caught 4 passes for 31 yards. Lynch has yet to rush for over a 100 yards in a game, but I don’t think Bills fans will complain in his 4 rushing TDs and more importantly, Lynch’s strong role in contributing to Buffalo’s surprising 3-0 record.


Aaron Rodgers suffered his first loss of the season against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. While Rodgers put did up decent numbers (22-39 for 290 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs, 1 rushing TD), the Green Bay offense struggled in the red zone, having to settle for 3 field goals on its first three trips to the red zone. Rodgers was also sacked 5 times, and spent much of the night escaping pressure.

There were no showboating opportunities for Desean Jackson, as he fell short of the opportunity to be the first rookie to catch for over 100 yards in his first three games by only pulling in 5 catches for 40 yards against Pittsburgh.

Justin Forsett continued in his kickoff return duties for the Colts, returning 2 for 49 yards…Deltha O’Neal had 2 tackles in New England’s embarrassing and shocking loss to Miami…finally, Tony Gonzales netted 4 catches for 35 yards for the Chiefs.
