It just seems like I have noticed that an early score like that more often than not turns out to be in a losing effort.
Just an observation, not an excuse. The way the Bears played defense they weren't going to win anyway.

I thought Manning was masterful, he had that early int then stuck to the game plan, his numbers were excellent against that "D" and in that weather...I hear folks saying he didn't deserve MVP, they must have seen a different game...nobody was gonna beat the Colts yesterday, the Bears gave it their best but turnovers and shaky QB play doomed them...the best team won! Somebody needs to give Manning credit for what he is...the best QB ever!
