With two straight losses with Caleb Hanie at the helm, the Chicago Bears find themselves in an unenviable position on Sunday, traveling to Denver to meet the best (and most run into the ground) story in the NFL: Tim Tebow. After taking over the reins for John Fox’s offense, the Broncos are 6-1 and lead the AFC West after starting the year 1-4. Will there be more magic in Denver or can Urlacher and the Bears keep Timmy in check? It’s time to break this one down!

If last week’s sack-fest of Caleb Hanie at the hands of the Chiefs didn’t freak you out enough, get ready for Vin Miller and Elvis Dumervil to come off the edges. Watch the blocking of the Bear offensive tackles closely, because Hanie could be caught staring at the blitz or running for his life on nearly every play. And while Champ Bailey may have lost a step, he can still hang with Earl Bennett. (I think.)
