If you want to get the Bears fired up for an upcoming game, all you have to do is start trash talking.
Earlier this week, Detroit Lions' receiver Roy Williams opened his mouth and "guaranteed" a Lions victory over the Bears, even after the Bears had just shut out the Green Bay Packers and the Lions had just lost a close one to the Seattle Seahawks. Today the Bears made Williams pay for his trash talking by trouncing the Lions 34-7 at Soldier Field.
The Bears capitalized on two early turnovers and numerous penalties by the Lions as they took an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter. The Bears never looked back.
Grossman had another strong performance, completing 20 of 27 pass attempts for 289 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. After this weekend's action, the Bears' offense is in the top 10 in several categories. What a difference a healthy and confident Rex Grossman makes.
The defense was their usual dominating selves, although the Lions helped out by making so many mistakes.
Give the Bears credit for not returning the trash talking in the media. That shows a mature football team. It's a good thing the Chicago Bears prefer to do their talking on the playing field.

I'm glad the Bucs don't have to play the Bears twice a year anymore. They're tough this year.
I kinda miss the Bears playing the Bucs. Attending a Bucs-Bears game in Tampa was always a good excuse to get out of Chicago's windy, cold weather.
