Bears Defense Aiming at McNabb

As the Chicago Bears are trying to turn their momentum toward winning, they are up against the Philadelphia Eagles and Donovan McNabb. McNabb has been having a great season so far after returning from a knee injury suffered last season. The Bears had trouble containing quarterback Brian Griese last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and McNabb is only going to be tougher. The defense has been working hard this week to hone their skills getting to the quarterback and will have a lot to prove on Sunday.

Defensive end Adewale Ogunleye talked about last week and facing the Eagles this week, saying, “They did a good job of chipping, which we’re gonna see a lot this week. You didn’t see a lot of guys having free rushes on the quarterback. They were very quick passes. They were getting the ball off quick. We were blitzing, guys were hitting him, but the balls were coming off quick. There are going to be games like that when you play West Coast offences, which we’re going to see this week.”

Containing McNabb will have to happen if the Bears want to give their offense a fighting chance at keeping up. Reserve your Chicago Bears tickets at StubHub.com.
