With calls for sweeping changes getting louder by the loss, the Chicago Bears can breathe a little easier at least. ”Our guys came out and they played with a ton of energy and passion,” coach Matt Nagy said Monday. The Bears (6-7) snapped a six-game skid, their worst since the 2002 team tied a franchise record by dropping eight straight, and are banking on the win over Houston (4-9) to help them turn around what was looking like a lost season.
It’s beginning to feel a lot like a somber farewell tour for Sam Darnold. The New York Jets quarterback’s future with the team is uncertain, particularly because the 0-13 squad appears on a collision course with a franchise-changing decision. ”I’m not worried about speculation or what others are saying outside of our locker room,” Darnold insisted Monday.
It’s taken more than two decades for the soul of Cleveland and its devoted blue-collar fan base to feel whole again.

CureSearch for Children's Cancer is the annual QBE Shootout's primary charitable beneficiary. Since 1989, the QBE Shootout has raised more than $14 million for CureSearch and other charitable causes. The national non-profit foundation accelerates the search for cures for children's cancer by driving innovation, transcending research barriers and solving the field's most challenging problems. This year, the 2020 QBE Shootout's chosen Honored Fighter from CureSearch is Peyton Armstrong. Peyton had been diagnosed with high-risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at only 10 years old. At an early age, Peyton had undergone multiple harsh treatments, misdiagnoses and unexpected surgeries on his long road to recovery. Now, at 20 years old, Peyton is in remission and is celebrated as one of cancer's toughest survivors. Cancer, to say the least, was no easy obstacle for Peyton to overcome, along with the many others that have a similar story. Peyton's mother, Jess, wanted to ensure her son was safe in any environment he was in while going through his recovery from cancer. That's why the family created "Peyton's Potion" - a safe, effective, uplifting and sustainable multipurpose cleaner. The "potion" helps to mitigate the smells of treatments that might otherwise make patients, such as Peyton, nauseous and helps to ensure patients are not susceptible to other bacteria in rooms. Peyton and his family now run the business together, hoping to help other patients feel just as safe as he did while undergoing treatments and surgeries. As the chosen Honored Fighter, the participant is typically brought on-site to the tournament for a VIP experience, similar to 2018's Honored Fighter, Joseph Campione. Due to the pandemic, Peyton was a virtual Honored Fighter for this year, sharing his experiences through calls and recorded videos. Graciously, the tournament has given Peyton the opportunity to come on-site next year to the 2021 QBE Shootout to have the full experience. Although some of his opportunities as an Honored Fighter will be delayed until then, Peyton had the chance to FaceTime two PGA TOUR players, Tony Finau and Cameron Champ. Both Finau and Champ, after their practice round at the QBE Shootout, took the time to reach out to Peyton and chat both about Peyton's Potion and him being the 2020 Honored Fighter. "We look forward to seeing you out on-site next year at the 2021 QBE Shootout," said Finau and Champ. "It was so fun getting to talk to Finau and Champ," said Peyton. "They were really nice guys who I look up to. I hope I get to meet them in person one day." Peyton is now a sophomore at Utah Valley University and is studying Mechanical Engineering while helping to run the family business, Peyton's Potion. More about Peyton and Peyton's Potion Peyton's Potion is a vehicle for Peyton to use his experience overcoming childhood cancer to help other children going through the same thing. Peyton is a mentor to other children with cancer, speaking at schools and community events, sharing his story and raising awareness. His determination and strength are an inspiration to other children overcoming childhood cancer and to all of us as we are presented with challenges in our lives.

HOUSTON — A Lim Kim made her first U.S. Women’s Open appearance a memorable one Monday, closing with three straight birdies to tie the record for the largest comeback and win the biggest event in women’s golf. And in the final major of this pandemic-disrupted year in sports, she won wearing a mask. Starting the final, frigid round at Champions Golf Club five shots behind, the 25-year-old South Korean wore a heavy down jacket between shots and delivered a 4-under 67 for a one-shot victory over Amy Olson and Jin Young Ko. Kim became the seventh player to rally from five shots behind in the final round of the U.S. Women’s Open, and the first since Annika Sorenstam at The Broadmoor in 1995. Olson held her own amid the grief of learning her father-in-law died unexpectedly in North Dakota on Saturday night. She was in tears Sunday morning on the range, before rain pushed the final round to Monday. Olson, winless in seven years on the LPGA Tour, had a two-shot lead on the back nine after 54-hole leader Hinako Shibuno faltered. But she couldn't do anything about Kim's late charge, and Olson fell back when her hybrid on the par-3 16th bounded over the green and into thick, brown rough, leading to bogey. She birdied the final hole for a 72 after Kim had already secured the title. Ko, the No. 1 player in the world who only recently returned from South Korea where she rode out the COVID-19 pandemic, also birdied the 18th when it was too late to catch Kim. Ko closed with a 68, one of only six players to break par in the final round. Shibuno closed with a 74 and finished two shots back. Kim finished at 3-under 281 and won $1 million. She added to South Korean dominance of this major, the ninth winner in the last 13 years.
A Lim Kim rallied from 5 shots down at the start of the final round to win the U.S. Women’s Open on Monday. The South Korean carded a 67 to beat Amy Olson and Jin Young Ko by 1 shot.
