Dateline: Monday, April 28, 1986. Vegas continues their hot streak, defeating Chicago soundly Monday night. The win puts Vegas at 6-5 and right in the thick of the divisional lead. Randall Cunningham continued his own hot play with 2 passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Lavale Thomas added a rushing touchdown of his own to the tally.

Chicago seems to be in full rebuild mode this year after an offseason that saw many veterans retire. There is a strong core at the heart of the team, but it may take a couple of years to build around that core and bring them back into the playoffs and a run for a championship.

Vegas faces a huge test in Houston Saturday night. Chicago travels to Jacksonville.
