  1. Adewale Ogunleye will miss the remaining two games after suffering a fractured fibula. It's possible he's played his last game as a Bear.
  2. And... another first for an opposing offense against the Bears defense. This time, it's Joe Flacco's career high for touchdown passes.
  3. Zach Zaidman reported on WSCR 670 before the Ravens game that Jerry Angelo declined to give a vote of confidence on Lovie Smith's future.
  4. The Bears could not depart for Baltimore Friday night because of the heavy snow there and might not be able to leave until Sunday morning.
  5. Reports are that Lovie Smith will retain his job in 2010 despite a third-straight season without playoffs.
  6. Devin Hester is expected to miss his second straight game to injury, which would open the door for more playing time for Devin Aromashodu.
  7. The Bears-Ravens game has been moved back to 3:15 due to an impending snow storm.
  8. Ravens FS Ed Reed is listed as doubtful for the Bears game and will probably not play.
  9. The Bears released linebacker Cato June Monday. June played special teams against St. Louis but was inactive against the Packers.
  10. Lovie Smith may have sealed his fate after burning two timeouts within seconds in the fourth quarter against the Packers.
  11. First play of the game for the Packers, 62-yard touchdown run by Ryan Grant. Well done, defense.
  12. Devin Hester will not play against the Packers. Devin Aromashodu will get more action at WR. Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett will return punts.
  13. Jamar Williams, who registered 20 tackles last week, will be replaced by Lance Briggs, but Williams will see some time on the strong side.
  14. Reports say if the Bears fire Ron Turner, Jay Cutler will lobby for USC offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates, whom he worked with in Denver.
  15. Chris Williams likely will start at LT against the Rams. It'd be a mistake to remove him from that spot if/when Orlando Pace is healthy.
  16. ESPN's John Clayton contradicted Hub Arkush's report that the Bears contacted a source about Bill Cowher by saying that's 100% inaccurate.
  17. According to ESPN.com, the Bears have signed former Colts linebacker Cato June.
  18. Wow. Give Cutler props for that touchdown drive, featuring a great catch from Aromashodu and capped off by a perfect TD throw to Knox.
  19. Nice first quarter for the Bears, which has been a notoriously bad quarter this season, holding the Vikings scoreless.
  20. First possession... a receiver screen that loses yards. I can't remember the last time that worked, so why does Ron Turner keep calling it?
