    Khalil Mack didn't want to overcelebrate Sunday's big home win over a division rival. Still 12 games left on a tough schedule. Mack: "A dog that poop fast don't poop for long, man." Agreed.

    Khalil Mack was thrilled with the way the Bears depth showed Sunday. “We’ve got white Nick, black Nick. Oh man. … There are so many guys stepping in there and doing their job and doing it at a high level.”
