When asked if he would have any limitations coming off a sprained right ankle , Bears receiver Devin Hester responded, "none whatsoever." So that means Hester should have little trouble zipping by the Cardinals cornerbacks come Sunday, right? "They do bite on double moves," Hester said.

The Bears show fire but not in time to stop the Cardinals. It seems like the inconsistent play that plagued the Bears last season is alive and well this season.

Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin give the Cardinals one of the NFL's top receiving tandems.

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert There was some buzz among Chicago fans Tuesday about the possibility of picking up receiver Chris Chambers, whom San Diego unexpectedly waived Monday.

The Cleveland Browns head to Chicago to take on a Bears team that is licking its wounds after a 45-10 beat down from the Cincinnati Bengals last week.

After doing a run through of the tape and the call of Fox's Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan, here are the grades from Sunday's 45-10 Bengals' victory over the Bears: Carson Palmer had a career best 146.7 rating and threw for 233 yards and five touchdowns in what was his best game since the 2007 Week 2 shootout against Cleveland.

I've been wondering since 4:15 Sunday afternoon how precipitously the Bears have to tumble for the right changes to be made.

Fittingly it was Bengals running back Cedric Benson punctuating the Benson Bowl with a two-yard touchdown run three seconds into the fourth quarter behind defensive tackle turned fullback Domata Peko to get to 45, a bruising reminder to the Bears just how much theya ve missed since they cut Benson last summer.

When the defense allows the opponent to go up and down the field and score on the first seven possessions, it's hard to focus too much on the offense.

Revenge was sweet for Cedric Benson . Carson Palmer seemed to enjoy it, too. No, Palmer didn't have any agenda against the Bears, but he played like he did, throwing for 233 yards and five TDs in Cincinnati's 45-10 victory.

Devin Hester, Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett wanted to escape the wet and cold after practice Friday afternoon, but they couldn't. Special-teams coordinator Dave Toub was bellowing at them to line up from across the Halas Hall practice field.

Chicago's Jay Cutler completed 27 of 43 passes for 300 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions against Atlanta on Sunday.

Just before Tuesdaya s NFL trade deadline, the New England Patriots made news by releasing veteran wide receiver Joey Galloway.

The defense for the most part was able to keep most of the Falcons weapons in check and avoid from breaking the game open.

Chicago made another huge mistake in the red zone, and the Atlanta Falcons held on for another wild victory over the Bears.

Are the Bears trying to send a message to their defensive ends by trading for Gaines Adams? Christopher K. Atwood, Illinois I don't think that's the case at all.

I saw a story on ESPN.com about Terrell Owens possibly coming to Chicago. Do you think that the Bears would even consider such a thing? Mike Appleton, Wisconsin In my opinion, the chances of the Bears acquiring Terrell Owens from the Buffalo Bills before Tuesday's trade deadline are roughly the same as the Cubs and White Sox meeting in the World ...

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert During our SportsNation chat Tuesday, I saw more questions about the possibility of Chicago acquiring Buffalo receiver Terrell Owens than any other.

There's been a lot of discussion about arumor that the Bears might be interested in trading for Bills receiver Terrell Owens.
