The Bears were back at it Wednesday in the middle of their second week of OTAs. Here are some thoughts and observations straight from my notebook.
For years, we've been hearing about the Bears developing creative ways to get Devin Hester the ball within the offense.

So, that happened. With the Bears leading 10-0 with 4:34 to play and 63 yards of (somewhat) green grass in front of Tim Tebow and the Broncos offense, the "Almighty One" found his magic and wound up a 13-10 overtime winner against the Bears.

Bears Coach Lovie Smith said Monday morning that the Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford should have been ejected along with D.J. Moore during a rough play, but the real story is the Bears' strong playing that led to victory.

Charles Tillman and Major Wright returned interceptions for touchdowns early in the third quarter, and the Bears picked off Matthew Stafford four times to beat the Detroit Lions 37-13 in a heated game on Sunday.

With a 30-24 victory over the heavily favored Philadelphia Eagles, the Bears put themselves on track for their second straight playoff appearance.
The McNeil and Spiegel Show's Over/Unders for Bears at Eagles on Monday Night Football:
Another big game for the Bears as they travel to take on Philadelphia tonight. If the Bears can find a way to win, they put themselves in a great spot to continue the playoff race. A loss with a rested Detroit coming in next week makes things more difficult. Here are the matchups I'm looking at:
