The funniest part of the game was when a person tried to clean up.

The Bears tried to get some points on the board with a field goal unit.

Gill used a towel to wipe the area he was going to put down his hold in order to get ready for the snap.

The Bears were forced to punt the ball away from field goal range because of the 15-yard penalty.

No matter what the weather is, leave the towels in your undergarments.
