Emery: Packers, Bears prepare for 193rd meeting Thursday, lifetime series tied

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears renew the NFL’s oldest and longest rivalry when they meet for the 193rd time on Thursday night (7:25, CBS). Incredibly, it’s the rubber match.

A mere 16 points separates the teams over the life of the rivalry, as Green Bay holds a slight 3,300-3,284 edge in scoring. Recent history favors the Packers, as Aaron Rodgers is 13-3 against […]

Upset alert indeed: No. 16 TCU upsets No. 6 Oklahoma State

STILLWATER, Okla. (UPI) -- TCU, for all its recent road success, had never won a Big 12 Conference game in the state of Oklahoma. The No. 16-ranked Horned Frogs picked an opportune time for a breakthrough Saturday, upsetting No. 6 Oklahoma State 44-31 before a sellout crowd of 56,790 at Boone Pickens Stadium. TCU used a balanced offense and took advantage of four Cowboys turnovers, three by quarterback Mason Rudolph, who saw his Heisman Trophy candidacy likely took a hit. Horned Frogs […]

BUFFALO, N.Y./GLENDALE, Ariz./HOUSTON (UPI) -- The Buffalo Bills signed two former players, defensive tackle DeAndre Coleman and safety Robert Blanton, to add depth to their roster on Wednesday.

San Francisco 49ers still searching for first touchdown

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (UPI) -- Two games into the John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan regime, it's pretty clear what the San Francisco 49ers would like. To start over. Fortunately for the 49ers, that's exactly what they get Thursday night when the Los Angeles Rams visit Levi's Stadium. But be careful what you wish for. Flopping a third consecutive time could result in a complete strikeout with 49ers fans. You see, the new-look club had built-in excuses in its first two games. How in the world were they […]
