LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Coach John Fox wasnt interested in close calls and bright spots in the wake of the Chicago Bears latest gut-wrenching loss.Were here to win, he said. Thats the goal.The Bears once again came up short, losing to the Green Bay Packers 30-27 when Aaron Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson with a 60-yard pass to set up Mason Crosbys field goal as time expired Sunday.That happened after Chicago (3-11) wiped out a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter and tied it on a field goal by Connor Barth, only to come away with a gut-wrenching loss.They head into Saturdays game against Washington with no shot at matching the 6-10 mark of Foxs first season. The best they can do is match the 5-11 mark in 2014 that led to Marc Trestmans firing.If they drop their remaining games against the Redskins and Minnesota, the Bears will do something they have not done in a non-strike year since the NFL schedule expanded to 16 games in 1978 -- finish with fewer than four wins.Theyve gone 4-12 three times since, most recently in 2002. But the last time they finished with three wins or less in a full season was 1973, when they went 3-11.Despite being done in by poor play and a long list of injuries to go with a few suspensions, the Bears at least are showing some fight. Theyve dropped two in a row by three points, and six of their losses are by seven or less.They made things interesting against Green Bay after they fell behind 27-10. But it was an all-too-familiar result, with some questionable decisions down the stretch.Facing a fourth-and-goal at the 4 trailing by three with 1:23 remaining, Fox had a decision to make: go for the win or the tie?Fox opted for the tie, betting his defense would come through with the stop and send the game into overtime.Well, that would have been better than what ended up happening, Fox said.Instead, it was the Packers striking gold. But before the big pass from Rodgers to Nelson, there was another decision that raised some eyebrows.Chicago declined a 10-second runoff with 54 seconds remaining after Green Bay guard Lane Taylor got hurt on a run for a loss that left the Packers facing a third-and-11 at their 26.That would have been easy to understand if the Bears were going for the win because they had two timeouts remaining and the Packers had none. But Chicago had just played for overtime on the previous series by having Barth kick the field goal rather than go for a touchdown.Rodgers allowed 18 seconds to run off the clock before taking the snap and firing deep to Nelson.The Bears also could have called a timeout with 54 seconds left.It was going to be a winding clock, we knew all that, Fox said. Without the 10-second runoff, lets say we get the stop on third-and-11, theres not going to be that much time. Its depending on where you want your timeouts. Its kind of six/half-dozen. It kind of really doesnt matter because its not the way it went.There were also questions about coverage on the deep pass. After all, Nelson was all alone with CreVon LeBlanc and got behind him.I think wed run that particular coverage a couple of other times and been successful, Fox said. Actually, we had a decent day on third down against the Pack, its a coverage that we played before. Like I said yesterday, they just made a really good play.Game notes Fox said WR Eddie Royal is headed to injured reserve because of a toe injury. ...

METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints center Max Unger finally gets to play against a defense he knows so well in a game that counts.Its just a lot of memories of playing the defense in practice, Unger said when asked what he finds most compelling about the chance to play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, the team with which he spent his first six NFL seasons.Unger, who was popular both in the Seahawks locker room and with Seattle fans, concedes that he was caught off guard by the 2015 trade that sent him to New Orleans, along with a first-round draft choice, in exchange for star tight end Jimmy Graham. But if the Unger is motivated personally by the prospect of making the Seahawks pay for uprooting him from a community he liked living in and playing for, hes not letting on about it.Theres a lot of emotions, obviously, that go across when you get traded, Unger said. You kind of have to remove that personal element. ... Im not the first player to ever play against their former team. It happens weekly in this locker room. So its funny to hear the stories and so this will be another one.While the Hawaii native and former second-round draft choice out of Oregon wasnt entirely thrilled by having to leave the West Coast, he was curious about the culture and history of New Orleans and eager to experience something different. He figured hed get a lot out of playing with record-setting quarterback Drew Brees, and he at least knew the Saints really valued him; they must have to trade a star as prolific as Graham for him.After practice Thursday, Unger went so far as to say he couldnt be happier than he is right now as an offensive leader with the Saints, who named him a captain this season.I take a lot of pride in that, Unger said. Its just a testament to doing the right things.When Unger was traded to New Orleans, right tackle Zach Strief reached out almost immediately, inviting Unger to watch a round of New Orleans annual PGA Tour event, the Zurich Classic, in the spring of 2015. Strief said it makes sense that Unger would be appreciated by fans in Seattle -- or anywhere.Fans can see and understand and respect tough guys, juust like he is here.dddddddddddd Hes tough and hes steady and gives you everything you want out of a lineman, Strief said. Hes not a big talker. Hes not someone whos going to ask to have his face put many places, but at the same time I think people very quickly get a feel for the type of person he is by how he plays and the kind of guy he is around the locker room.In New Orleans, anyone who succeeds in protecting Brees is bound to be respected. Unger has fortified the front and center of the pocket, Brees said, and the results are self-evident. Brees led the NFL in passing last season. Through six games this season, he is averaging an NFL-leading 350.2 yards per game, putting him on pace for what would be an NFL single-season record of 5,603 yards passing.Max has been as good as I ever could have imagined, not only just his production, but his leadership ability and his toughness and the presence he brings to the locker room and to that offensive line room and to our team, Brees said.Even though the Seahawks were willing to part with Unger to get an elite pass-catcher like Graham, it is also apparent they miss their former offensive lineman -- and not just because theyve had a little more trouble than usual running the ball and protecting quarterback Russell Wilson.Hes awesome, one of our all-time favorite guys, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Its who he is -- his character, his competitiveness, the smarts that he brings just a great team guy.Unger said he still follows how the Seahawks are doing, still has a number of friends on the team and -- with the exception of this week -- still enjoys seeing them succeed.It sounds like the feeling is mutual.He is an incredible leader and he is an incredible ballplayer, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said of Unger. He is reliable and he is a fantastic teammate. He is one of the better teammates that you could ask for. I think that everybody was surprised when that trade went down.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
