Did anyone watch Monday Night Football? The undefeated Bears played against the Arizona Cardinals.

My heart is still beating a thousand beats a minute - it was a crazy game!

We were getting our asses handing back to us on a plate. For a while it was 0-14 in favor of the Cardinals, and I wanted to smash the TV in the hotel (i'm in Baltimore right now) because the announcers were totally trash talking the Bears.

Then at a point we were down 3-23.

After that, channeling the 2005 team, our defense made things happen. A pick here, a recovered fumble there, and a great punt return with a little help from a 40 yard miss from the Cardinal field goal kicker, and the Bears came back.

We shouldn't have won. The Cards were spanking us. They dominated every stat of the game. Leinart was on fire. He was hyped. The Arizona crowd was super loud. The Chicago defense was weak. The offense was non-existent.

Yet we got lucky. We found a couple weaknesses and we had an incredible game.

Truthfully, I think Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton accidentally switched bodies, because that's the only way I can explain the 4 interceptions, fumbles and throws to the middle of nowhere.

However, I feel a little bad that Leinart didn't win because this little kid on the sidelines came to watch his idol Matt play in Monday Night Football. But just a little. Very little.

*whew*

6 and 0, baby!!!
