Bears Head To Nashville For Week 9; Pack Hosts Arizona

 width=>>Secon-dary To None: Bears DBs Doing Their Part

The Chicago Bears had some question marks in their secondary when the season started. It turns out they had some answers, too.

With the defensive line applying the pressure up front and the guys in the backfield letting little get past them, the Bears lead the NFC North at 6-1.

They keep coming up with big plays. They keep getting recognized for it, too, with Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman being selected NFC Defensive Player of the Month for October.

All he did was return two interceptions for touchdowns, limit Detroit's Calvin Johnson to just three catches for 34 yards and help hold opposing quarterbacks to a league-low 61.9 passer rating while the Bears went 4-0. A month earlier, Bears cornerback Tim Jennings won the award.

>>Streaking Bears Take On Titans

(Nashville, TN) -- The Chicago Bears are on the road Sunday as they take on the Tennessee Titans at LP Field. The Bears are riding a five-game winning streak following last Sunday's 23-22 comeback win over Carolina. Chicago sits atop the NFC North at 6-and-1. The Bears' only loss came in Week Two at Green Bay. The Titans had their two-game winning streak come to a halt with a 19-14 overtime setback against the Colts in Week Eight. Tennessee blew a 13-6 lead in the fourth quarter and fell to 3-and-5 overall. The Titans are 0-and-2 at home against the Bears since relocating from Houston. Matt Hasselbeck is 2-and-2 since replacing injured quarterback Jake Locker.

(Green Bay, WI) -- The reeling Arizona Cardinals head to Lambeau Field on Sunday to clash with the Green Bay Packers. The Cards became just the third team in NFL history to lose four straight following a 4-and-0 start. Arizona is coming off a 24-3 drubbing by division-rival San Francisco on "Monday Night Football." Green Bay is on a roll of late, winning three in-a-row to improve to 5-and-3 on the season. The Packers are coming off a 24-15 home win over Jacksonville in Week Eight. The Packers won the last regular season meeting with the Cardinals 33-7 in 2009, but then lost to Arizona 51-45 in overtime in the opening round of the playoffs that year.
