"We had a great game today," said Grossman, who was 11-for-26 for 144 yards with no interceptions. "This is great and all, but we have one game to go."

Jones gained all 69 yards on an eight-play ground drive in the second quarter, scored twice and rushed for 123 yards. Gould nailed three field goals.

The Bears, who led the league with 44 takeaways, forced four turnovers.

When Saints passer Drew Brees fumbled less than a minute after Berrian's touchdown, whatever karma the Saints carried this season disappeared when Cedric Benson scored on a 12-yard run.

Report clears Vick

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick wasn't carrying marijuana when stopped by security last week at Miami International Airport, ESPN reported on Sunday.

Citing anonymous NFL sources, ESPN reported Vick wasn't carrying marijuana or any other illegal substance.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wouldn't comment on the report. He said the league had received no information on the issue.

On Wednesday, Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security at the Miami airport.

The bottle had a compartment that contained "a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana," the police report said.
