Bears/Saints- Halftime Report

This game is so Bears. How is it even possible in a conference championship game to have completed THREE passes in an entire half and still hold a 16-7 lead?

I guess it's possible because the Bears have run at will against the Saints' defense, and the Saints have been very generous in turning the ball over and setting the Bears up with great field position.

If the Saints have any hope of staying in this game, they are going to have to make a bigger effort to run the ball in the second half. Is Deuce McAllister here today? Did Sean Payton not see Shaun Alexander gashing the Bear defense repeatedly in the second half of last week's game?

With the exception of the last drive of the half, the Saints looked miserable, and the Bears look like they are 30 minutes from a Super Bowl.
