Bill Sweeney became just the fourth pitcher in history to pitch a no-hitter after a 2 walk, 9 strikeout performance in the red hot Bears' 3-0 win over the Packers. It was the Bears sixth straight win, and they've now pulled within 2 games of the Vikings, who lost their second straight game this week after falling to the Patriots 6-4.
The hottest team in the ABC is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who defeated the Seahawks 4-1 to improve to 9-4 on the season and win their fifth straight game. The Steelers lead the ABC North by 1 game over the Bengals, and 2 games over the Ravens.
Tommy Davidson had a big day for the Steelers going 3-3 with a walk, 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, and a home run.
With a 7-5 win over the Eagles the Saints became the first team to clinch their division and now are tied for the best record in the NBC with a 11-2 record.
Dave Orr singled, doubled, and tripled while driving in 3 runs in the Saints win.
The Giants beat the Redskins 7-6 for the fourth straight win, and with the Eagles loss they now trail the Eagles by just 1 game in the NBC East. The Giants will travel to Philly next week for a big NBC East showdown.
It doesn't appear anybody wants to win the NBC West with both the Cardinals and Seahawks losing this week and the 49'ers (3-10) and Rams (2-11) having two of the worst records in baseball. At 7-6 the Cardinals lead the division and will host the Saints next week.
