Before Brian Urlacher walked out onto the field to be honored at halftime of the Bears game, Chicago’s defense had already sacked Russell Wilson five times.
On the night of Urlacher’s ring ceremony at Soldier Field, the Bears defense put on a performance worthy of the Hall of Famer middle linebacker’s presence.
“For the linebackers, we didn't really speak on it, but we knew what was going on,” linebacker Danny Trevathan said. “That's one of the greats of Chicago and we went out there to get a win, not only for him, but for ourselves.”
In the postgame locker room, Trevathan proudly wore a chain with a baseball-sized diamond-encrusted Bear head, its teeth bared in a sparkling roar.
