Rack up big 'W' for Bears defense as pads come back on after day off

BOURBONNAIS — Whether it was a good day or a bad day depends on which side of the football you happened to be standing on or which phase of the Bears you happen to think needs a big day.

With assistants keeping “score” on an electronic board along one sideline — the defense triumphed, 24-20, based on the in-house point system — the offense that had been virtually turnover-free through the first week of training camp was throttled.

One pass was intercepted (though it wasn't thrown by either Jay Cutler or Jimmy Clausen). Plays were repeatedly stacked up.
