Big Wins for Both Notre Dame and the Bears

Via SI.com

We will start with the Fighting Irish as they took on Northwestern in Evanston on Saturday night in a primetime. Notre Dame did not look there best but they got a win on the road against a good team. The offense was very inconsistent in the first half but the defenses were lights out only allowing 7 points in the first half. The offense came out firing in the second half and it looked like the Irish were well on there a way to an easy win as they built up there lead to 24-7. But Notre Dame became very complacent it seemed like as Northwestern came back to make it a 24-21 game. But when they needed it the most Ian Book came through and scored a touchdown with only 3 minutes left in the game.  They won 31-21 and kept their playoff hopes alive. Notre Dame still controls their own destiny, if they win out they will be in the playoff. That starts with this week in the Florida State Seminoles come to South Bend in a game that I will be at this Saturday. This will be the 10th game that I have attended in South Bend and it is a great time every time I go.

Now the Bears had a dominating victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in Buffalo. Going into this game I thought that the Bears should win this game pretty easy. But I had thought that before this year like the game against the Cardinals and the Dolphins so I wasn't going to really buy into the blowout win. The Bears put an absolute domination especially on defense scoring twice on a picked up fumble and a pick-six all within 5 minutes of each other in the second quarter.  The Bears sit in firsy plcae in the NFC North 10 weeks into the season which is something that I definitely did not think that I would be saying this year. They will start a stretch of playing 3 divisonal oppensets in a row. With Detroit this week, the Minnesota on Sunday night next week, then Detroit again on Thanksgiving.
