The pattern detected by our friend Tom Green of 9News — 17 points by the Raiders, 35 by the Commanders and 70 by the Dolphins — suggests the Bears might score 140 on the Broncos.

Or should a down-to-the-studs rebuild begin immediately?Gabriel: If the Bears score 140, Kiz, I’m going to step way out on a limb over Lake Michigan and say the season is a lost cause. A slightly more serious thought: Chicago’s bad. So is Denver. Whichever team loses Sunday is going to have a hard time not thinking about Caleb Williams and the 2024 quarterback class even though both teams thought they were set for the long haul at quarterback — Justin Fields drafted in 2021 and Russell WIlson traded for in 2022. If Denver’s veering toward another top five pick (like the one they...
