FOR USE AS DESIRED
NFL-PER-7a 10/24/01
BEARS AIM FOR BEST START SINCE 1990
The Chicago Bears are 4-1 and can go 5-1 for the first time since 1990 (9-1) with a win over the 4-1 San Francisco 49ers this Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears’ defense has surrendered the fewest points in the NFL (43, for 8.6 points per game) and boasts the NFC’s top rush defense, allowing only 75.6 yards per game.
Chicago’s defense is led by second-year middle linebacker BRIAN URLACHER, who will be featured on an NFL national conference call tomorrow, October 25 at 2:30 PM ET (712/257-3063; Access: NFL).
