Good, better, best?
Look, just get some rest.
Call it a minor Christmas miracle that the Bears — most of them, anyway — even took the field Sunday night in Santa Clara, Calif., given the flu bug pinballing around the team all week that sent players to the sick list like ants to a picnic.
A doleful dirge would have been more appropriate than “The Star-Spangled Banner” before this game. Performed by who else? A flugelhornist, of course.
Fortunately for the Bears, though, it turned out to be more of a “phew” flu.
