Wait, does the Bears’ epic four-play, nine-yard march to set up a field goal at the end count as yet another game-winning drive for quarterback Caleb Williams?

If the Irish have a disastrous stumble in them, it’s not going to come against Syracuse or Stanford in one of their last two games. It’s going to come Saturday against the 7-2 Panthers.

Wanna see what happened after Border Patrol shot a woman in Chicago?
So do @chicago.suntimes.com and @illinoisanswers.bsky.social. So we asked CPD for videos.
But the cops said no — because a chief is accused of waving off the police response and is facing investigation.
