Well, you're 9 from the TOP of the leaderboard but 3 from being *on* the leaderboard. (It was 2 yesterday, I forgot to check this morning.)

Well, the first game was really not that good. But the second game is nice and tied in the 4th. Denver is not looking good.

It was for us Falcon fans.

The Denver game was great, though. I'm glad they pulled it out.

Ya, its been a while since we had a OT Thanksgiving game...stupid coin flip game!!

I'll always remember the OT game (I'm almost positive it was a Thanksgiving game) between Detroit and Chicago, back when the Bears had Vince Evans as their QB. Opening kickoff in OT was run back by the Bears for a TD. For whatever reason, that game made an impression on me.

I was a kid around 10 when I watched a Packer game vs. da Bears. It went into OT. Packers were going for a field goal for the win.

Sept. 7, 1980: Packers 12, Chi. Bears 6

''Chester Marcol catches his own blocked kick (by Alan Page) and runs 25 yards for game winning touchdown six minutes into overtime...Only overtime contest in Packers-Bears series, NFL's longest rivalry.''

''It was one of the few bright spots in a 5-10-1 season. On opening day, the Packers held Walter Payton to 65 yards and took the Bears into overtime tied 6-6. In OT, Chester Marcol's game-winning field goal try was blocked by Alan Page, but the ball bounced right back to Marcol and he ran it in 25 yards for a touchdown and what coach Bart Starr would call "the most dramatic win I've ever been part of." One footnote: The Bears beat the Packers later that season, 61-7.''

I've been a Packer fan ever since. If the Packers still beat the Bears both times this year, it means a perfect season to me.

Same here.

Funny that...
