Bears Defense Comes Through For Win

The Chicago Bears needed to come back in a big way from Week Seven’s loss, and they did so on Sunday by topping the Cleveland Browns 30-6. The score shows that the Bears defense stepped up big time, despite losing two key linebackers (Brian Urlacher and Pisa Tinoisamoa) to injuries. In their place, Hunter Hillenmeyer stepped up as a leader and pushed his defensive unit to hold the Browns to only one touchdown, and they even blocked the extra point.

Even though he was clearly a star of the defense, Hillenmeyer directed the praise toward the Bears coaches and said, “The coaches did an awesome job of simplifying the game plan but still having it where we could be aggressive. Sometimes when you say simplify, it means you play base defense and just react. We were attacking all day. It was a great game plan and it worked.”

In the course of the game, the defense tallied one sack, two interceptions and three forced fumbles. Charles Tillman even added a defensive touchdown in the fourth quarter off of one of the interceptions. This game was just the pick-me-up the Bears needed.
