Defense Back With A Bang

Why do most Chicago Bears fans come to the games?  The defense of course!  While everyone likes to see a quarterback who can throw or a running back with great moves (like Matt Forte), Bears fans have a well-developed taste for sacks, forced fumbles and bone-crushing hits that you can only get from the defense.  Last Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, the defense more than delivered what their supporters hungered for.  Defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek summed it up when he told Larry Mayer, “That’s kind of our mantra: attack. We wanted to establish a new line of scrimmage and that was one of the keys to winning. Stopping the run and then getting heat on Peyton, that’s what we focused on all week in practice and came out here and did it.”

Alex Brown and Marcus Harrison each tallied a sack for seven and 10 yard losses, respectively.  Tillman stepped up and stripped the ball with the best of them.  They completely shut down the Colts’ run game and held them to a mere 53 yards. A man who deserves a lot of credit is defensive coordinator Bob Babich, who turned the defense into a well-oiled machine.  Catch this machine in action by getting Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.com.
