Rudolph danger to Bears in red zone
The Vikings and quarterback Christian Ponder can use play action Sunday to target the middle of the Bears defense without Brian Urlacher on the field. Think of vertical concepts in the red zone that put stress on Nick Roach as he moves inside to middle...Tags: John Carlson (football), Major Wright, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, Christian Ponder

Too bad Bears-Cardinals local rivalry thing of past
For those who remember the bitter local rivalry that once existed between the Bears and Cardinals when both played in Chicago, Sunday's game in Glendale, Ariz., conjures up thoughts of what could have been a monumental civic clash. With the Bears in...

Bears face big decisions on several key players
Most of the players on the Bears roster were acquired by Jerry Angelo to be coached by Lovie Smith. Now that neither is part of the organization anymore, many of those players might not be feeling quite as secure. The fates of many familiar faces in the...

Bears position analysis: Defensive line
For the first time since the 1985 season, the Bears landed two defensive linemen in the Pro Bowl as Julius Peppers and Henry Melton were selected as all-stars. Peppers led the defense with 111/2 sacks, his most since joining the club in 2010, and...

Bears CB Jennings will get 2013 pay raise
A trip to the Pro Bowl was not the only reward Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings received at the end of the 2012 season. He is also in line for a bump in pay. Jennings, who signed a two-year contract to return to the club last March, triggered a...

That stench? Oh, that's the Bears' best players

Bears will try to confuse Cardinals rookie QB

49ers pound Bears
SAN FRANCISCO — It's too bad Colin Kaepernick wasn't available when Phil Emery set out to find a backup quarterback. The first-year general manager had to strike quickly to find an experienced No. 2. The Bears invested big money in Jason Campbell,...

Cowboys can't stand up to Bears blitz
As a rule, the Bears' defensive scheme may be the most predictable in the NFL. But coordinator Rod Marinelli and the boys stepped out of character a bit Monday. They blitzed on nearly 23 percent of Tony Romo's dropbacks, mostly in the first half. It was...

Competition for playing time boosting Bears
The bench players that general manager Phil Emery added to the Bears in the offseason did more than improve depth. They improved the front line too. There is little doubt that more intense completion at cornerback, defensive end, defensive tackle,...

Special teams key to Bears' blowout
The Bears were facing one of the best special teams units in the NFL on Sunday, but special teams played a significant role in the Bears' victory.
