Bears take sound licking
Tribune staff reporterAll week, the Bears vowed to make some noise in the 86th season opener in franchise history. Instead, they couldn't hear because of it.

Bears perfectly awful in defeat
Tribune staff reporterA team objective can be to take the crowd out of the game, and the Bears did exactly that Sunday. Unfortunately, the crowd they silenced was their own.

Bears steal win from Vikes
Tribune staff reporterMost teams and competitors win when they play their best. Champions typically win when they don't.
