INDIANAPOLIS – Wednesday was not a particularly good day for the Bears’ defense, which played with a seeming lack of fire at times, whether uncertain of itself, overly cautious against Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, or something.
That improved visibly on Thursday as the Bears attacked on defense, pressured Luck and his receivers into incompletions and came up with a couple of takeaways, something conspicuously lacking the day before.
“I think [it was] because we started fast,” said cornerback Tim Jennings. “I think yesterday we competed good but we can always get better. Today we had some balls on the ground, guys were making plays, a couple turnovers but we just didn't finish quite as well as we wanted to do, but we can learn from that.
