[CBFF] Source: Garrett Wolfe hospitalized with lacerated kidney

[Steve Behrens]

 Bears trivia:  the last lacerated kidney a Bears player had that I
can remeber was Jim McMahon in 1984, vs the Ray-dahs, and both
starting QB's were knocked out, along with half a dozen other players.
 The Bears were trtying to reach the top of the mountain, while the
Raiders were trying to prove the couldn't be knocked off of it, after
winning the previous SB.  It was a hell of a game.
