The Chicago Bears are on a roll. Winners of five straight after a 31-20 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, the Bears improved to 7-3 on the season, good for second in the NFC North. If the playoffs were to begin today, the Bears would be in as a wild card team in the NFC.

The Green Bay Packers, winners of 14 straight games, will look to improve to 9-0 this season as they take on the Minnesota Vikings (2-6) at Lambeau Field Monday night. With every win, the discussion regarding a possible undefeated season ramps up. It's a predictable topic of discussion for any team that sprints out to a fast start.

That is the question posed by the USA Today one day ago. In a very interesting feature article, the paper explores the "undercurrent of concern about the influence of the self-proclaimed Worldwide Leader in Sports."
