Marshall’s teammate Lance Briggs elaborated, “It is such a competitive league, guys try anything just to get that edge,” Marshall said. “I’m fortunate enough to be blessed with size and some smarts to give me my edge. But some guys, they’ll do whatever they can to get an edge I’ve heard of some crazy stories. I’ve heard guys using like Viagra. Seriously. Because the blood is supposedly thin, some crazy stuff. So, you know, it’s kind of scary with some of these chemicals that are in some of these things. … Anytime you take anything over the counter — if you don’t approve it with your training room, you can get popped that quick. You know, it doesn’t matter if it’s Dayquil, Nyquil, any type of cough medicine. Even Hall’s.”

The 7-1 Bears were cheered on by a LP Field filled with over 60% Bears fans who drank the city known for whiskey and rye dry of beer. Bears head coach Lovie Smith even called LP Field, “Solider Field South.”
