Running back Noah Herron has signed with the Cleveland Browns, who lost Jason Wright to free agency earlier this week. The 26-year-old Herron was drafted by Pittsburgh in the seventh round in 2005.

But no more than an inch of snow is expected to accumulate on the Frozen Tundra, and it doesn’t appear that we’ll be in for a blizzard of a game. After pregame warmups, Fox reported that players who took the field said they think it’s in great shape. If the snow turns out to be worse than expected, though, that should favor the home team. In weather that requires a ... Read Full Story

Looks like they won’t have to worry about that just yet. Chicago rallied from down 17-7 at halftime to win 27-20 . The final six possessions for the Bears resulted in the following: touchdown, punt, field goal, interception, punt, touchdown. The final six possessions for the Packers ended with two interceptions (one on a hail mary) sandwiched by ... Read Full Story
