Mike Brown

aints need him.) Sharper would provide a veteran presence in the secondary to replace the departing Mike Brown and should be around for a year or two as Craig Steltz and a surely-incoming draft selection develop and learn underneath him. He’s aged, but he can still make the big plays and is consistently healthier than Brown ever was.

Safety Mike Brown’s calf injury is apparently nothing serious, as he is listed as probable on the injury report. Run defense will obviously be the primary focus against Adrian Peterson and the massive offense line of Minnesota as the Bears will forever attempt to ensure no more all-time records are set on their watch. This will open up things downfield for Vikings QB Gus Frerotte, whom the Bears will again challenge to be perfect in the passing game. The secondary will be hoping for a solid pass rush this week, as it could lead to another fun-filled day of Frerotte interceptions.

ner Danieal Manning looks to return this week after missing time with a hamstring issue, but safety Mike Brown is still questionable with a calf injury. Brown sat out Wednesday but was limited on Thursday, leaving his status for Sunday still up in the air. Linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer is still questionable with a thumb injury, so look for Nick Roach to fill the void on the strong side. Injuries or not, this defense has to start producing to the level of their income, or expect to see drastic changes during the off-season.

They were simply awful in the first half. After two initial Detroit drives that ended in a Mike Brown interception and a three-and-out following a sack, the Bears capitalized with ten quick points, reminiscent of their last meeting. That’s where the similarities stopped, as the Lions tore apart the Bears defense for 23 points in the second quarter. Quarterback Dan Orlovsky found receiver Calvin Johnson six times in the first half, and rookie running back Kevin Smith found the holes in an undisciplined Chicago defensive front. With no pressure in his face, Orlovsky had an easy time going through multiple reads, often getting to his third or fourth option. As bad as the defense was in the first half, they came out in the second and showed the Lions why they’re in first place in the NFC North.
