Lance Briggs plucked the ball out of the air
and started rumbling down the field. As the Chicago linebacker approached the
end zone, he fully extended his right arm over his head with the ball in his
hand.
Briggs and the rest of those 30-something Bears defenders showed
Tony Romo and the
Dallas Cowboys
how much they can still play.
Charles Tillman, another of the five
defensive starters in their 30s, also returned an interception for a touchdown
in the Bears' 34-18 victory Monday night.
"A lot of our older guys are playing really well right now because we understand
everything so much more," said Briggs, whose 74-yard run was his first
interception return for a TD since 2005. "Whether we've lost a step or some
people believe we've lost a step, we make up for it in knowledge."
