>>NFL Adopting Playoff Overtime Rules For Regular Season
(Palm Beach, FL) -- NFL playoff overtime rules will now be used in the regular season as well. League owners have voted to adopt the format for regular-season games beginning this season. Each team will have at least one possession in overtime unless the team that receives the opening kickoff scores a touchdown on its first drive. The NFL will also now review all turnovers, eliminating the need for challenges on change of possession. The league already reviews all scoring plays.

(Lake Forest, IL) -- The Bears have signed wide receiver Devin Thomas to a one-year deal. Last year with the Super Bowl champion Giants, he had three catches for 37 yards, 25 kick returns for 607 yards and five special teams tackles.
