The Bears went on to win, 20-12.

The 2005 team is regarded as one of the NFL’s up-and-comers. Chicago should field a terrific defense with star linebacker Brian Urlacher returning from an injury-plagued 2004 season. The offense figures to be improved as the Bears signed talented free agent Muhsin Muhammad to bolster a lackluster receiving corps.
