Bear Defense Keeps Pressure on Packers : NFC: Chicago has six sacks, recovers three fumbles and intercepts two passes in 31-13 victory.

Trace Armstrong’s tracks were easily traceable Sunday. He and the rest of the Chicago Bears’ defense beat a path to Green Bay Packer quarterback Anthony Dilweg.

The Bears sacked Dilweg six times, recovered three fumbles and intercepted two passes to beat the Packers, 31-13, in the 140th meeting of the NFL’s oldest rivals.

Bear quarterback Jim Harbaugh completed 11 of 14 passes for 161 yards, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another. Running back Neal Anderson gained 71 yards and scored on a one-yard run in the first quarter and on a 16-yard pass play in the fourth.

But on a cool day at Lambeau Field, the Bears’ game-long pressure on Dilweg--making his second NFL start--was the difference.

“The pressure was a pretty big factor,” Armstrong said. “Dilweg seemed to get pretty frustrated. We put him down hard a few times. You can’t put a value on that.”

All three lost Packer fumbles were converted into touchdowns by the Bears (2-0).

Dilweg, who completed 14 of 28 passes for 149 yards, was replaced with 6:54 left in the game by Don Majkowski, who made his first appearance after missing all of training camp because of a contract dispute. Majkowski completed eight of 12 passes for 84 yards before he was intercepted by Lemuel Stinson on a pass into the Bear end zone with 3:38 left.

“It was a rough day for me out there,” said Dilweg, who passed for 248 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s 36-24 victory over the Rams. “You have to give credit to the Bears’ defense. I can’t point any fingers on our offensive line because I made some critical mistakes, too.”

The Packers (1-1) took a 7-0 lead with 7:36 left in the first quarter on a 10-yard run by Keith Woodside. The touchdown capped a 63-yard, 10-play drive that began after Jerry Holmes intercepted Harbaugh’s first pass.

But two Packer fumbles and a roughing the kicker penalty helped the Bears score 14 points in the final four minutes of the second quarter to take a 17-10 halftime lead.

The Bears increased their lead with 6:32 left in the third quarter when Harbaugh lofted a 40-yard touchdown pass to Ron Morris just three plays after Dilweg lost his second fumble of the game.

Chris Jacke’s second 37-yard field goal, with 24 seconds left in the quarter, pulled the Packers to within 24-13.

The Bears then went on an 80-yard drive in the fourth quarter that Harbaugh capped with a 16-yard scoring pass to Anderson for the final margin.
