The Bears try to turn their season around while the Broncos try to keep the momentum going, as well as pressure on San Diego in the AFC West. 5 Steps, coming up…

1. Contain Devin Hester

Some have said Todd Sauerbrun‘s long punts will help us here. Are you kidding me? Have you heard of outkicking the coverage? Do that against this All Pro and we could seriously lose this game. Seriously, we could lose. Think St. Louis-Chicago last year.

2. Stop Cedric Benson

Which has seemed pretty easy of late, although he’s coming off arguably his best game.

3. Force the Gross out of Rex

IF Sexy Rexy comes out to play, we’re in for a long day. Wow, I totally sound like a hack pregame FOX analyst now.

4. Spread the Bears defense

We’re wounded at runningback, so Jay Cutler needs to spread the ball around to open up the running game.

5. No stupid mistakes, and let’s beat an NFC team

Penalties have been brutal the last few road games. Let’s clean that up, and beat an NFC team for the first time since Arizona last year!
