NFC playoff picture: Rams’ win keeps them ahead of the Saints, for now
The Rams won Super Bowl 52.5 on Monday night, and as a result they remain the top seed in the NFC playoff picture. But that may not be the case for long: The Rams have a half-game lead over the Saints, but with the Rams on their bye, the Saints can tie it up this [more]

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has an injured throwing shoulder.

There are only three points on the board, but the Bears will take a start like this. Their defense just stopped a Vikings drive, with Khalil Mack forcing a Dalvin Cook fumble, giving them the ball back at their own 15, as they hold a 3-0 lead. It was Mack’s fifth forced fumble of the [more]
