The Bears won this game with defense, plain and simple.  LB Brian Urlacher (10 points and 3 tackles for a loss) and safety Major Wright (9 tackles and 1 pass defensed) led the way for the Bears on D in this game.  CBs Tim Jennings (6 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed and a interception) and Charles Tillman (6 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed and a interception that he returned 22 yards for a TD) also had rock solid games for the Bears yesterday.  DE Israel Idonije (5 tackles, 1 sack, 2 tackles for a loss and 2 QB hits) and CB D.J. Moore (interception) also had solid games for the Bears.  The Vikings finished up with 79 yards rushing on 27 carries (2.9 ypc) and they completed 21 of 42 passes (50%) for 222 yards.

The Bears were down 35-10 early in the 4th quarter before showing signs of life.  But it was far too little and far too late.  Josh McCown looked a lot better than Caleb Hanie last night…..but that’s not saying a whole lot.  McCown completed 19 of 28 passes for 242 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 8 times for 38 yards (4.8 ypc).  Kahlil Bell was a beast on the ground last night with 121 yards rushing on 23 carries (5.3 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 38 yards (9.5 avg).  RB Armando Allen pitched in with 11 carries for 40 yards (3.6 ypc).  WRs Roy Williams (6 rec, 81 yards), Dane Sanzenbacher (4 rec, 51 yards) and Earl Bennett (1 rec, 49 yards) led the way for the Bears in the passing game last night.  TE Kellen Davis pitched in with 3 receptions for 21 yards with a TD grab.  The Bears finished up with 199 yards rushing on 42 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 28 passes (67.9%) for 242 yards as they had possession of the ball for 35:48.

The defense was not too good for the Bears last night as Aaron Rodgers was moving the Packers at will with his arm last night.  Safeties Major Wright (7 tackles) and Craig Steltz (6 tackles) led the way for the Bears’ D in this game.  CB Charles Tillman (5 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 QB hit) also made some good plays for the Bears last night.  The Packers finished up with 81 yards rushing on 21 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 29 passes (72.4%) for 282 yards last night.  The Bears were eliminated from the playoffs last night with this loss as they are now 7-8 on the year.

The Chicago Bears were winning 14-7 at the half and things were looking good….but then the roof caved in.  Caleb Hanie was pathetic once again today as he completed 10 of 23 passes for 111 yards with 1 TD pass and 3 interceptions (two of which the Seahawks returned for TDs).  Josh McCown finished the game and QB and he completed 1 of 2 passes for 12 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT. He also carried the ball 5 times for 34 yards (6.8 ypc) in this game.  Kahlil Bell led the way on the ground for the Bears in this game with 65 yards rushing on 15 carries (4.3 ypc) and he also caught 5 passes for 43 yards (8.6 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Marion Barber (11 carries for 33 yards) and Dane Sanzenbacher (2 receptions for 26 yards) also pitched in for the Bears in this game.  The Bears finished up with 132 yards rushing on 31 carries (4.3 ypc) and they also completed 11 of 25 passes (44%) for 89 yards as they had possession of the ball for 28:23.

The Chicago Bears really blew this game yesterday as they were winning 10-0 with only 4:34 left in the game.  That’s when they couldn’t run out the clock or stop Tim Tebow and his boys, after shutting them out for most of the game!  Caleb Hanie was a game manager yesterday as he completed 12 of 19 passes for 115 yards without a TD pass or INT.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 11 yards (5.5 ypc).  Marion Barber led the way on the ground for the Bears yesterday with 27 carries for 108 yards (4.0 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 2 passes for 32 yards (16.0 avg).  But, he fumbled in O.T. which led to the Broncos’ winning drive.  Kahlil Bell pitched in with 40 yards rushing on 9 carries (4.4 ypc) and 5 catches for 24 yards (4.8 avg).  WR Johnny Knox led the way in the passing game with 3 grabs for 37 yards (12.3 avg).

The defense was outstanding until the last 4:34 in this football game.  LBs Brian Urlacher (11 tackles) and Lance Briggs (9 tackles) led the way for the Bears in this game.  CB Charles Tillman (5 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception), DT Stephen Paea (3 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 tackle for a loss and 2 QB hits) and DE Israel Idonije (fumble recovery) also helped out on D for the Bears in this game.  The Broncos finished up with 124 yards rushing on 34 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 40 passes (52.5%) for 221 yards in this game.  The Bears are now 7-6 on the season.

The Bears wasted a great defensive effort by playing very lousy on offense today.  Caleb Hanie was absolutely brutal in this game as he completed 11 of 24 passes for 133 yards without a TD pass and 3 INTs.  Marion Barber led the way on the ground for the Bears in this game with 44 yards rushing on 14 carries (3.1 ypc).  Kahlil Bell had a pretty solid game with 4 carries for 34 yards in this game (8.5 ypc).  Matt Forte carried the ball 5 times for 12 yards (2.4 ypc) before injuring his knee.  He did not return to the game.  WR Johnny Knox (5 rec, 53 yards), TE Kellen Davis (2 rec, 40 yards) and WR Devin Hester (3 rec, 35 yards) led the way for the Bears in the passing game today.  The Bears finished up with 93 yards rushing on 24 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 11 of 24 passes (45.8%) for 88 yards as they had possession of the ball for 27:18.
