Fans' love of Urlacher is unrequited

Bears' pass rush making all the difference
The popular joke when the Bears traded for Jay Cutler in 2009 was that they fleeced the Broncos by including two first-round draft picks because such selections were worthless in Chicago. The trade simply spared the Bears the indignity of making even more...

Lean, healthy, Bears' Smith in it for long haul
