...also the fact that kickers are sizzling these days, and the Bears and Colts sport the two of the game's best, Robbie Gould and Adam Vinatieri. Kickers are 42 for 45 on field goals this postseason - a 93% rate - and they often mean the difference between a post-season victory and defeat. So expect plenty of field goal attempts on Super Sunday, which means just as many chances for the snappers and holders to screw up in front of 140 million viewers...
