The kid from Chico, CA/Season 3 MVP/Offensive POY/Best QB wasn't going to let his team lose, down 20-23 going into the 4th, Chicago couldn't match GB's firepower and despite a commendable effort by Bears backup QB Matt Moore and rookie RB Marcus Laws (subbing in for an injured Matt Forte intra-game), the Pack beat Chicago once again to sweep them this season.
The "upstart" 8-8 New England went on to take on the 12-4 Atlanta Falcons (who knocked out GB, but barely) in the Super Bowl, and the Patriots emerged victorious, giving Brady his 3rd Super Bowl win.
Looking back on Season 3 (UPDATED at Sea.4, Wk.2):
Looking back on Season 3 (UPDATED at Sea.4, Wk.2):
- Is this Brian Urlacher's final season in Chicago? Retired.
- What about Julius Peppers? Kept.
- And Brian Marshall? Kept.
- Matt Moore proved to be an invaluable backup - will Chicago be able to retain him? Struggled in preseason - TJ Yates signed as #2 QB.
- Will Chicago use its higher draft picks on defense, O-line, or receiving corps? Focused on defense, but best pick is B- o-lineman.
- How else might Chicago upgrade its secondary? Not yet.
- Can Cutler stay healthy next season? So far...
- Might Chicago trade Marshall or Peppers for a superstar Safety? Neither; shockingly, after startling emergence of Sea. 4 UDFA RB Bernard Booker from practice squad to starter, the team traded Feature Back/Team Mentor RB Matt Forte to New England for OLB Courtney Upshaw.
