Bears @ Steelers: All Kinds of Ugly

If emotions truly were roller coasters, I spent most of this game yakking my guts out.

I was pretty well psyched about it.  Heath Miller was coming back.  Le'Veon Bell looks like he is a week away from returning.

Then they started playing.  This is the point where you are nearing the top of the hill, the clanging of the old, chain-driven lift reaching a crescendo.  It crested the hill, and immediately went into a series of convulsions, as the Bears moved the ball in chunks that never let them get to a third and long.  Ultimately, it was three to nothing.

Then it was our turn.  Seven total plays later, we had fumbled and the Bears were up 10-0.  And the awesome just kept coming. A Steeler punt, followed quickly by a 55-yard run by Matt Forte and a nearly perfect goal-line stand was just that -- nearly perfect.  Touchdown Bears.  17-0 with two minutes left.

In the first quarter.
