No, this isn’t a belated Halloween prank: Rex Grossman will indeed be behind center when your Chicago Bears take on the Seattle Mermen! (Seahawks is just a silly name). Now don’t be like that; have some confidence in Rex. You know what they say, the 30th time’s the charm. And the Seahorses are only ranked 20th against the pass. Besides, when these teams last met, the Bears won — and the Sea Monkeys were a much better team then.
Then again, so were the Bears.
