FACT: One week after returning a missed field goal 108 yards, the Bears’ Nathan Vasher (No. 31) intercepted two passes Sunday for the NFC North leaders in a 13-3 victory.

FACT: Muhsin Muhammad had six receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown against his former team, but he also dropped several passes, including one in the end zone. Kyle Orton was 15-of-26 for 136 yards, with a TD and an interception.

FOOTNOTE: No product of Chicago has been as awkward looking yet successful since Joan Cusack (right).
FACT: One week after winds whipped through Soldier Field at up to 47 mph, there was just a light breeze.
