By Bob LeGere
Sep 25, 2011 3:09 PM - The Bears need their big guys up front on defense to play better than they did last week, when they face the Packers today at Soldier Field in the 183rd meeting of the league's oldest rivalry. Specifically, the focus will be on the Bears' defensive line, which is supposedly a strength and often the catalyst for the team's success. But that group was conspicuously absent against the Saints last week.
