Broken Wings » All week the conversation has centered around

how Khalil Mack would deal with his emotions in facing his former team for the first time. A simultaneous goal of revenge and validation is warranted. A desire for retribution for sending the superstar packing out of Oakland isn’t out of the question. But the Bears’ cornerstone has never been one to wear his emotions on his sleeve. The perennial All-Pro prefers to let his play—as one of the greatest defensive players of his generation—do the talking. That’s all he needs to do. There’s undoubtedly some unresolved feelings between Mack and the man who decided to unthinkably trade him away in Jon Gruden. Mack’s best plan to make the Raiders miss Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jerseys Stitched , the only plan that always makes sense, is to humiliate Oakland through a variety of breathtaking pass rushing moves and unblockable swipes of the arm. When in doubt, revenge is a dish ideally served in not-so-quiet dominance. Here’s how the Windy City Gridiron staff envisions a game that has likely been circled on Mack’s calendar for 13 months. Robert Zeglinski: Bears 20, Raiders 13Hell hath no fury like a lover scorned. This is not the week to be the team who traded Khalil Mack because you refused to pay the defensive Pat Mahomes what he deserves.Lester A. Wiltfong Jr.: Bears 24, Raiders 3Not only will Mack be ramped up to play his former team, but the entire Bears squad will rally around their defensive leader to throttle the Raiders. Bill Zimmerman: Bears 19, Raiders 3In a revenge game for both, Eddy Pineiro boots four field goals and Mack records three sacks, while the Bears’ defense generally terrorizes Derek Carr. Chicago moves to 4-1 before a welcome bye week. Jacob Infante: Bears 23, Raiders 10Mack gets his revenge on Oakland in the form of two sacks Youth James Daniels Jerseys , and Chase Daniel plays well enough against a pedestrian Raiders’ defense to pick up the win across the pond.Aaron Leming: Bears 24, Raiders 17There’s always going to be an element of the unknown any time you fly half way across the world. The Bears are banged up and Daniel will start at quarterback. But the Bears match up too well against Oakland. Erik Duerrwaechter: Bears 20, Raiders 6 This is going to be the “Khalil Mack Game,” 2019 edition. I see Daniel managing a conservative game on offense as the Bears’ defense reminds Jon Gruden of the value of having a top-tier defense.Josh Sunderbruch: Bears 17, Raiders 6The Raiders get on the board with a defensive score. Otherwise, this is all blue collar football by the Bears.Sam Householder: Bears 20, Raiders 14The Bears have been dealing with a lot of weird stuff this week. It makes me feel iffy about this game and a Raiders team that’s frisky. However, I think Matt Nagy has his team ready to play and focused on the task at hand. They start slow while Mack becomes a one-man wrecking crew. Ken Mitchell: Bears 21, Raiders 6I’m going with my usual “defense scores one, allows no touchdowns “ prediction again this week. My over and under on sacks for Chicago is 6.5.WhiskeyRanger: Bears 24 James Daniels Jerseys Stitched , Raiders 10I’ll be succinct. Khalil. Mack. Revenge. Game.Robert is wondering why player-team reunions always have to have such hostile undertones.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Josh Rosen trotted onto the field in the fourth quarter to a rousing ovation. Arizona Cardinals fans, tired of watching their team’s offense sputter for most of three games, were thrilled to see the rookie quarterback finally get his shot.The hopes of a winning drive rose with a couple of quick completed passes. Seconds later, those aspirations were dashed with the same kind of mistake that put the Cardinals behind in the first place.Thrust into a difficult position, Rosen failed to lead Arizona’s beleaguered offense to a comeback, throwing an interception on his fifth NFL pass in the Cardinals’ 16-14 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.“I guess you could say I’m kind of content that I got to get out there and sort of understand and get the feel of a real NFL game, but I definitely could play a lot better,” Rosen said. “I’m looking forward to getting better in the weeks to come.”Rosen’s chances to get better — at least in a live game — could come quickly.Sam Bradford was expected to give Arizona a smooth transition in place of the retired Carson Palmer and serve as a mentor to Rosen Youth Eddie Goldman Jerseys , the Cardinals’ quarterback of the future. Signed to a two-year, $20 million contract in the offseason, Bradford has turned in three uninspiring performances with the Cardinals (0-3), racking up turnovers while Arizona’s offense has bogged down.First-year Cardinals coach Steve Wilks stuck by his starter following the first two games, but brought in Rosen after Bradford opened the second half with two interceptions and a fumble. Rosen threw one interception and had a pick-6 negated by a Chicago offside penalty, but may have shown his coach enough in limited time to earn the start against Seattle next week.“We’re going to evaluate Josh as well as Sam,” Wilks said. “We’re going to watch the tape and see exactly what I want to do as far as moving forward with that.”Bradford was good early against the Bears, throwing two touchdown passes as Arizona (0-3) jumped to a 14-0 lead with its first opening-half points of the season. Then the offense bogged down, followed by the turnovers.Bradford was 4 for 5 for 92 yards in the first quarter, completing two passes of at least 30 yards — Arizona’s two longest of the season. The Cardinals bumbled around on offense after that Eddie Goldman Jerseys Stitched , managing 30 combined yards on 22 plays in the second and third quarters.Bradford threw interceptions on the Cardinals’ first two drives of the second half as the Bears clawed back. A third turnover, a fumble, came early in the fourth quarter after Arizona reached Chicago’s 23 with a chance to extend a one-point lead.Bradford’s final turnover led to Cody Parkey’s third field goal, from 43 yards, that put the Bears up 16-14 and the Cardinals in need of an offensive spark.“Obviously disappointed in the turnovers,” said Bradford, who finished with 157 yards on 13 of 19 passes. “I felt like I put our team in a bad spot the second half today.”Rosen, the 10th overall pick of this year’s draft, completed his first three passes to move Arizona near midfield, but underthrew Christian Kirk along the sideline and was intercepted by Bryce Callahan.Arizona’s defense held Dan Hampton Jerseys Stitched , giving the ball back to Rosen and the offense with 43 seconds, rekindling hope of a miracle comeback. It fell flat instead.Rosen dodged one big mistake when the interception return for a touchdown was called back on a penalty, but the Cardinals’ last-ditch effort ended when he was sacked before he could attempt a pass.“I thought he looked pretty good, inconsistent in the end,” Wilks said.The Cardinals could use some consistency at this point.
