Bears D roars louder than Lions
Chicago shuts down Detroit 13-7, takes top spot in NFC North
APBears defensive end Julius Peppers (90) celebrates with end Corey Wootton (98) and tackle Amobi Okoye (91) after sacking Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford on Monday in Chicago.
updated 12:09 a.m. ET Oct. 23, 2012
CHICAGO - There was a big gasp going through the stadium as Jay Cutler writhed in pain on the field. He got up and the defense provided a big lift.
Cutler returned after bruising his ribs, and Brian Urlacher made a key fumble recovery to help the Chicago Bears beat the Detroit Lions 13-7 on Monday night for their fourth straight win.
It was certainly not an easy night for the NFC North leaders, particularly their quarterback, but they came away with the win after a week off and possibly buried Detroit (2-4) in the process despite getting a major scare along the way.
That happened in the second quarter when Cutler was sacked by Ndamukong Suh and ultimately wound up going to the locker room to have his ribs examined.
"He's a tough guy," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "Most people thought Jay would get up. Unless it's a broken leg or something like that, he's going to get up. He is a tough guy. ... That was a gutsy effort by him. He was in some pain, but he fought through it."
Cutler came back to start the second half and was 16 of 31 with 150 yards and a touchdown in the game, but with the defense locking down the Lions, the Bears (5-1) prevailed. It was a huge blow for last-place Detroit, a team many expected to contend for the division championship after making the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade.
The Lions simply never got in gear, and when they had chances, they blew them. The biggest came early in the third quarter, when Joique Bell fumbled at the goal line with the Bears leading 13-0.
Urlacher recovered and Chicago hung on from there, sending Detroit to its fourth loss in five games.
Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 81 yards and scored a touchdown on Chicago's first possession. Matt Forte ran for 96 yards, and with the defense doing its part again, Chicago never really was threatened in this one.
It was a rough night for the Lions, with Matthew Stafford going 28 of 46 for 261 yards after leading the late charge in last week's win over Philadelphia. Calvin Johnson had trouble shaking the Bears' Charles Tillman and finished with three catches for 34 yards. He dropped a deep pass over the middle on the game's first possession even though he was wide open.
"Charles Tillman, that's tough to do playing against one of the best players in the league, matching up with him all night," Smith said.
The Lions lost receiver Nate Burleson to a knee injury in the third quarter on a hit by Tim Jennings after a catch.
There weren't many scares for the Bears, with one big exception.
They were leading 10-0 in the second quarter and had just taken over at their 26 when that happened.
Cutler, who had his helmet ripped off on a hit by Suh after a run last year at Soldier Field, got driven to the turf by him on an 8-yard sack. He came up kneeling and holding his head as trainers tended to him, then ran to the sideline.
Jason Campbell came in for one play, but Cutler returned right after that and threw an incomplete pass on third down before Chicago punted. But after Julius Peppers recovered a fumble by Mikel Leshoure to stop a Lions threat, Campbell was behind center. Cutler was having his ribs examined, but he was back out there to start the second half, some fans cheering as he trotted onto the field.
They were really roaring moments later when Stefan Logan fumbled trying to catch Adam Podlesh's punt. Zack Bowman recovered it for Chicago at the 27, and that led to a 21-yard field goal by Robbie Gould to make it 13-0 after Cutler had two passes broken up with the ball on the 3.
The Lions lost Burleson after a 16-yard catch near midfield on the next possession but drove all the way to the 1 before Bell turned it over. As he lunged over the pile, Henry Melton poked the ball out and Urlacher made the recovery to keep the shutout going. D.J. Moore extended it when he picked off Stafford near the goal line in the closing minutes. The Lions finally scored when Stafford connected with Ryan Broyles on a 12-yarder with 30 seconds left.
Early on, the Bears looked like a team bent on solidifying its spot on top of the division while burying the Lions.
They struck on their first possession, with Forte getting some big blocks and breaking through a hole on the left side for a 39-yard run to the 7, and Cutler connected with Marshall on the next play to make it 7-0. Gould added to it with a 39-yard field goal late in the quarter, after a 24-yard scramble by Cutler and personal foul by Detroit's Corey Williams against Earl Bennett on the play put the ball on the 21. By then, there had already been some chippiness, with players pushing and shoving after a fair catch by Logan on a punt.
It was hardly a surprise, given the way the emotions boiled over last year at Soldier Field. The Bears won that game 37-13, but the lasting image wasn't Stafford getting picked off four times. Or, Devin Hester returning a punt 82 yards for a touchdown.
It was Stafford grabbing Moore by the helmet and throwing him to the ground near the Lions sideline after Chicago's Jennings picked off a pass, setting off a confrontation between players from both sides and putting the ribbon on a heated game.

Ryan to deliver speech on helping middle class
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is preparing to explain to low-income voters how he and Mitt Romney would do more to help them than President Barack Obama.
The Wisconsin congressman planned to outline the GOP presidential ticket's case during a speech Wednesday at Cleveland State University in political crucial Ohio. With two weeks to go until votes are counted, Ryan's trip to an urban campus suggests Romney's campaign is looking for any vote still available.
No Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio.
Aides said Ryan's formal remarks would focus on upward mobility for millions of people looking for work and those struggling to get by on their current paychecks. For instance, that includes highlighting Romney's plan for more educational choices for parents and a strengthened safety net for people who need assistance.
To middle-class voters, Ryan was expected to argue that Washington is spending too much and that Obama's economic policies have not done enough to fix a struggling economy.
Ryan, a fiscal hawk and the top budget writer for House Republicans, planned to compare that record to Romney's proposal that he says would create 12 million jobs and help workers take home more of their paychecks.
Before the speech, Ryan planned to meet with civic leaders to promise that a Romney administration would work with them to fight poverty.

The College of Charleston Welcomes a Record Number of Gates Millennium Scholars
Charleston, SC ? Three College of Charleston freshmen are among 1,000 students nationwide who have been awarded the prestigious Gates Millennium Scholarship. The application process included writing eight essays each, in which the students told stories of being bullied, managing anxiety and depression, and discovering what they love to do. ?To have three Gates Millennium Scholars enter the College in one year really speaks to the quality of our applicants and to the education we can provide,? Provost George Hynd says. ?They had the opportunity to go to the school of their choice, and we?re honored they chose the College of Charleston.?
?
The Gates Millennium Scholarship is given to outstanding minority students each year by the United Negro College Fund and is made possible by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The award is good through graduation, and recipients may request funding for a graduate degree program in computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health or science.
?
Joseph Quisol, a scholarship recipient from Charlotte, North Carolina, says writing the essays helped him determine the subjects he likes best and led to his decision to double major in international studies and political science. Quisol is also in the Honors College and a member of the inaugural class for the International Scholars Program. He is considering a graduate program in public health and hopes to one day work for the U.S. Department of State.
?
?When I was in high school my parents had to sacrifice paying bills so I could take International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement exams, and I didn?t want them to sacrifice more for college? Quisol says. He chose the College of Charleston because when he visited the campus, he liked the tight-knit atmosphere. ?The faculty seemed really invested in the undergraduates.?
?
?My tutor had told me to consider the College of Charleston, but I didn?t think it was financially possible,? says Kathy Longmire, a marine biology major from Vienna, Virginia. ?I come from one of the wealthiest counties in the country, but my mom was unemployed and I was looking at the possibility of going to a community college. When I found out I got the scholarship, I was in shock for a couple of weeks.?
?
In one essay, Longmire wrote about being diagnosed with anxiety and depression disorder when she was a junior in high school. ?I?ve been able to use my experience of being at rock bottom and lifting myself out of that to help others.?
?
Latisha Robinson, also a marine biology major from Columbia, SC, came to the College of Charleston along with her twin sister, Davisha. Robinson says without the scholarship, she would have to work and take out loans to ease her family?s burden of putting two daughters through college at the same time.
?
Robinson likes the College of Charleston because it is close to the coast?and to home?but says she has gained more confidence in herself over the years. In one of her essays, she recalled being bullied in elementary school. ?As I got older, I learned to open up to people and make new friends.? Winning the scholarship has taught her not to let obstacles get in the way of her goals. ?Don?t give up,? she says.
