(MCT) — CHICAGO — Temperatures dipped into the lower 40s and blustery winds whipped around Soldier Field during the Bears’ 23-22, come-from-behind victory Sunday over the lowly Panthers. But did the elements surrounding the game remind anybody else of the desert?

Remember Monday night, Oct. 16, 2006, in Glendale, Ariz.? The Bears trailed a one-win Cardinals team 23-3 with less than a minute left in the third quarter. Their offense got lost somewhere in the Grand Canyon and their defense did little early to lead the way out of the darkness.
