Bears extend win streak to seven in Tampa

The Bears' #1 ranked defense dominated the Buccaneers throughout most of Sunday's game, but needed a little luck before team secured it's seventh straight victory. Tampa kicker Matt Bryant pushed a 29-yard field goal attempt wide right with 2:47 remaining in the game, allowing Chicago to escape with a 13-10 win at Raymond James Stadium. Head Coach Lovie Smith said this about his defense and how his team has been winning games; "How far can it carry us? Hopefully all the way.... You know if you don't let a team score, you have a heck of a chance of winning, I know that's simple, but that's kind of how it is. We play good defense, we run the football and we try not to make a lot of mistakes. That's a pretty good formula for success." I would have to agree, during this win streak the Chicago Defense as let up only 5 touchdowns in 7 weeks of football. The win also let the surging Bears (8-3) maintained their two-game lead atop the NFC North over the Minnesota Vikings (6-5), who defeated the Cleveland Browns 24-12 Sunday at the Metrodome. Next up is the hated Packers who have been struggling lately with only 2 wins this season, no time to feel sorry for em.....GO BEARS!!!
