CHICAGO – Cornerback Charles Tillman and middle linebacker Brian Urlacher combined to play less than three quarters Sunday and the Bears’ defense survived just fine.

The Bears forced five turnovers against Indianapolis on their way to a 41-21 victory at Soldier Field, picking off rookie quarterback Andrew Luck three times and forcing a fumble on a sack once.

It could be a different story against another No. 12 this week. The Bears definitely need their best players against Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Thursday when they visit Lambeau Field, but it looks like neither Urlacher nor Tillman will be at full speed for that game.
