Defense Readies for Cardinals

This week will inevitably be a test for the Chicago Bears. They gained some momentum against the Cleveland Browns last Sunday, but this Sunday they are facing the Arizona Cardinals, who went to the Super Bowl last season. The Bears defense, specifically, knows it will have its hands full with stars like Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Tim Hightower.

Linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer spelled out the challenge ahead and said, “They definitely have a lot of weapons. They probably run as many four wide receiver sets as we have seen. They’ve got a couple Pro Bowlers, a great quarterback, and running backs that can catch the ball out of the backfield.”

A bright spot in all of this is that the Cardinals can either play at an elite level or crumble into a sub-par team. The Bears are hoping they can put enough pressure on the Cardinals to make them the latter.

Defensive end Adewale Ogunleye knows what his game plan is, as he revealed, “Going into this game, my mindset is if we don’t get to Kurt-pressure him, sack him-it’s going to be a long day. So with that said, there’s a lot of pressure on our backs, a lot of pressure on my back, to get Kurt.”

As the second half of the season kicks off, Bears fans won’t want to miss a single minute. See them live by getting Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
