When you look back to to the Bears 13-3 season a couple years back, they were a lucky team. Every thing went their way, and they didnt always force their hand and make the mstakes they needed. The defense was good, but the way things happened were just unbelievable. The Bears got every break they needed all season.

However, this year's Chicago Bears went ahead and MADE the breaks that they needed, when they needed them. The two close games this season versus Minnesota and Arizona were won by the Bears, not lost by the other team. In the Minnesota game, the Bears D-Line busted through on a run play and knocked the ball loose during an exchange between Chester Taylor and Brad Johnson, and proceeded to march down the field and score a TD to win the game.

Against Arizona, Mark Anderson finally cashed in against on offensive line that was supposed to be softer than marshmallows. They knocked it out and gt a TD, and it is not a case of the Bears getting lucky and having Mike Brown in the right place at the right time. During Lovie Smith's practices, he makes evrybody swarm towards tackles, pick up any loose ball, and run for scores after the fumble. Lovie Smith's technique paid off on the next possession as well. Edgerrin James, a man that has not fumbled in a year had the ball ripped away by game MVP Brian Urlacher, the sole reason they won the game. And the Devin Hester pun return was not lucky at all. Everybody picked up the blocks that they were supposed to, and it resulted in a touchdown.

More on Urlacher though. On the Cardinals last drive down the field, Urlacher made two huge tackles on Edge to keep the Cards from getting a first down, which would have sealed the game, because not even the new choke artist, Neil Rackers, would mess up a thirty yard field goal. At the end of the day, the better team usually wins, and this game was no exception.
