About this Article

After grabbing 4 interceptions and breaking up six passes in the first 3 games, there was one more thing left for Bears quarterback Tim Jennings to grab — NFC Defensive Player of the Month honors. For the month of September, Jennings also assisted in two tipped balls that were picked off by other Bears defenders, which led to him earning the conference’s top defensive honors Thursday.
