Chicago at San Francisco: So, this might have been a decent game but neither starting quarterback will be playing due to concussions. Instead it's Jason Campbell and Colin Kaepernick. Yikes. Kaepernick did surprise the Jets earlier this year with some solid Wildcat-esque play, but presumably the Bears will actually be prepared for that now. At the very least, we can hope for some more Bears defensive thievery and scoring. Here's your space to yak it up, MNF style.

Former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke insists there is no way Manchester City s dominant Premier League triumph is a fair reflection of the difference between the teams.
City finished with a record-breaking 100 points in 2017-18, their 19-point gap to second-place United the biggest there has been between champions and runners-up in the Premier League era.
Although the Red Devils fell well short in attempting to catch their neighbours, they did end the campaign on 81 points, one more than their tally from the historic treble-winning season of 1998-99.
And Yorke, who was a key part of that success, believes United s results against their biggest rivals have proved they are a force again under Jose Mourinho.

Ancelotti was head coach at the Santiago Bernabeu when James left Monaco for Madrid after starring at the 2014 World Cup for Colombia.
James proved a hit in his first campaign in the Spanish capital, scoring 13 goals in 29 LaLiga appearances.

Lionel Messi s decision-making at Paris Saint-Germain is not a problem for his team-mates, says Achraf Hakimi, after the Argentine helped seal victory over Brest.
Messi was on hand to assist Neymar s finish for the lone goal of the game, as Christophe Galtier s side edged to a 1-0 win to return to the summit of Ligue 1.
Having made the move from Barcelona last year, Messi frequently struggled to live up his billing during his first campaign at the Parc des Princes, but has looked back to his best this term, tallying three league goals and seven assists.
In a game decided by closer margins than anticipated, it was his vision to set up the in-form Neymar that trumped a PSG blank elsewhere, with Hakimi happy to defer to the forward s expertise.
