LAKE FOREST, Ill. Adrian Colbert Jersey . - This sure looked like a potential showdown between NFC heavyweights, a made-for-prime-time matchup, when the schedule came out.That idea vanished weeks ago.Instead, two disappointing teams will be on display when the New Orleans Saints visit the Chicago Bears on Monday night.Both are 5-8, certainly not what they anticipated when the season began.At least the Saints still have a shot at the playoffs.Arent they on top of their division right now? And whats their record? Bears defensive end Willie Young said. Holy cow. Thats love right there, man. They got it made.If Young was a tad envious, thats understandable. After all, the Bears are officially out of playoff contention for the seventh time in eight years.But if it makes Young feel any better, New Orleans was not exactly planning any celebrations — not after that wipeout against Carolina last week.The Saints got pounded 41-10 at home, their fourth loss in five games and their worst beating of the season. They can forget about the wild card, but theyre still in the playoff hunt, tied with Atlanta for the NFC South lead, with the Falcons visiting next week.Its obvious that as a unit were not playing like we need to, Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro said. If everybodys buying in we wouldnt have lost a game.The Bears, meanwhile, have dropped two straight and will be without Brandon Marshall for the rest of the season. They placed the five-time Pro Bowl receiver on injured reserve after he broke two ribs and suffered a lung injury last week against Dallas.Here are some things to look for in this game:GETTING AWAY: Maybe going on the road isnt such a bad thing for the Saints.Theyve dropped four straight at home, also losing to San Francisco, Cincinnati and Baltimore. On the road, theyve fared better of late with two straight wins. They won at Carolina on Oct. 30 and at Pittsburgh two weeks ago.You would never think we would lose four straight in the Superdome, centre Jonathan Goodwin said. I havent given up hope on playing at home.BOUNCE BACK?: Despite a rough outing against the Panthers, Brees still leads the league in completion percentage (69.3) and ranks third in yards passing ( 3,983).He had a difficult time last week, though. He had his lowest completion percentage this season (59.2), going 29 of 49 for 235 yards with a touchdown and interception.RUN DOWN: The Saints could not stop the run last week. Who knows if theyll have to worry about it this week?New Orleans gave up a season-high 271 yards rushing and 497 of total offence against Carolina, with Jonathan Stewart running for 155 and Cam Newton 83.It will be facing one of the leagues top running backs in Matt Forte. But the Bears have a total of 23 rushes for 48 yards the past two games even though they keep talking about being more balanced on offence.RUNNING AGAIN: New Orleans Khiry Robinson returned to the active roster last week after missing six games with a forearm injury. He did not get any rushing attempts because the Saints fell into an early 17-0 hole. He had 330 yards and averaged 5.2 per carry in the first six games before getting injured.TOP TIGHT ENDS: On the one hand, Chicagos Martellus Bennett avoids comparisons to other top tight ends. On the other, he does see himself competing with them.Two of the leagues leading tight ends will be on display in Bennett and the Saints Jimmy Graham.Some guys are like the No. 1 receiver on their team, Bennett said. I try not to compare, but I do compete to a certain extent with each guy thats a tight end, because you want to be the top tight end in the league. Theres a competition, solid competition, that they dont really know about. But I watch Gronk (New Englands Rob Gronkowski). I watch Graham. I watch Delanie Walker down in Tennessee — all those guys. Im constantly competing with those guys, but its not like a comparison because each game is different. The game plan for each game is different. What their offence is doing is different from us, but I do compete with them.Bennett leads NFL tight ends with 77 receptions — a franchise record for his position — and is third with 821 yards. Graham is fourth among tight ends in catches (68) and fifth in yards (695).___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Weston Richburg Jersey .

And now they have seen it for themselves. http://www.officialsanfrancisco49ersfootball.com/authentic-c.-j.-beathard-jersey-womens . -- Quarterback Josh Johnson has returned to the San Francisco 49ers and his former college coach, Jim Harbaugh.DALLAS -- The Stars have their first win of 2014. Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. "Were pretty happy with that one," Garbutt said. "We got some tough breaks in the little slide here, and I think tonight we got some breaks and bounces." Jamie Benn scored a rare power-play goal for the Stars, who had not won since New Years Eve. They entered 29th in the NHL with the man advantage. Benn also assisted on the first goal of the game by Erik Cole, just 14 seconds in. Cody Eakin and Trevor Daley each had a goal and an assist for Dallas, which built a 4-1 lead 1:10 into the second period. "Not a good way to start the game," Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins said. "Going through the game in my end, it seemed like we made three mistakes and they ended up in our net and you cant recover." The final Stars goal came on Daleys shot into an empty net in the last minute. Justin Schultz and Sam Gagner scored for Edmonton, with Taylor Hall assisting on both goals. After the opening faceoff, Daley skated in from the left side, drawing goalie Ilya Bryzgalovs attention. Daley then passed across to Cole, who swept the puck into the open right side. Edmonton tied it at 3:20 when Hall passed to Schultz in the lower right circle. He skated across the front of the net and flipped the puck over Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen, who finished with 31 saves. Garbutts third goal in two home games against Edmonton gave the Stars a 2-1 lead at 8:35 of the first. "To get that goal right away was important," Stars coach Lindy Ruff saiid. Colin Kaepernick Jersey. "Obviously, if you sit right there at 1-1, a lot of things can happen." A pregame talk between Ruff and Garbutt seemed to help. "I had a conversation with him again about some plays in the previous game that I didnt like," Ruff said. "I thought Ryans play was excellent. Tonight might have been one of his best." Benns power-play goal followed less than 2 minutes later. Tyler Seguin passed from the top of the right circle to Benn on the left. His drive beat Bryzgalov. It was only the seventh goal at home with a man advantage in 81 opportunities for Dallas this season. Overall, the Stars entered with a 12.4 per cent success rate (20 for 161). "Tyler made a great play and (Benn) a great shot. Weve had that same look a few times and havent scored," Ruff said. "Hopefully, that leads to better times ahead for the power play." Dallas fourth goal came at 1:10 of the second by Eakin. Antoine Roussel sent a centring pass to Eakin from the right corner. The Oilers controlled play for most of the second period but came away only with Gagners goal. He got the puck in the crease after Lehtonen got tangled up with Daley. NOTES: Benns goal was his 16th, and third on the power play. ... Halls two assists gave him seven points (five goals, two assists) in the last six games. ... Dallas Ray Whitney played in his 1,300th NHL game. ... The last time the Stars lost seven in a row was in March 2009. ... Late in the game, Edmontons Ales Hemsky was hobbling on a swollen ankle. "The early X-ray doesnt show anything, but I think were going to have to delve a little deeper," Eakins said.
