Peppers is in his second season with the Bears a |

Each of these participants has fallen well behind in the division race just five weeks into this 2011 season, with reigning world champion Green Bay and suddenly-resurgent Detroit both getting off to sizzling 5- |

| Lake Forest, IL (Best E Casino) - Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman missed Thursday's practice session due to a hip injury, but wide receiver Earl Bennett was able to finally join his teammates after a month- long absence. The 30-year-old Tillman was able to practice on Wednesday, but only on a limited basis. He was credited with eight tackles in Monday night's 24-13 loss in Detroit. On an uplifting note, Bennett, who has been sidelined since Saints safety Roman Harper hit him in the chest with his |

CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Bears are in a hole. The defending NFC North champions are off to their worst start since 2007 at 2-3. Their 24-13 loss at Detroit on Monday night left them three games behind the Lions and Green Bay, the last two unbeaten teams in the NFL. The Bears have not found the right balance on offense and their defense is giving up huge chunks of yards. It hasn't helped playing the Packers, Saints and Lions -- teams that have three of the best quarterbacks in the league. Bears run |

| With the NFL's current longest regular-season winning streak and a pair of historic comebacks, the Detroit Lions are no longer toiling in obscurity. The resurgent team will now get a long-awaited opportunity to be in the spotlight when it hosts the Chicago Bears in a high- profile Monday night matchup from Ford Field. Other than their traditional Thanksgiving Day home games, the Lions haven't appeared in a nationally-televised telecast on a major network since a 35-0 Monday night home loss to St. Louis on O |

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has saluted the 1985 Chicago Bears, his hometown team, for winning the Super Bowl a quarter century ago. Key players on the team, fabled for their on-field performances and off-field high-jinx, appeared on a sun washed South Lawn of the White House Friday to hear Obama declare: ``This is as much fun as I will have as president of the United States.'' Among those in attendance was then Bears Coach Mike Ditka, who turned down Republican entreaties in 2004 to run |
