Chicago Bears SS Major Wright said Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford folds under pressure. "You've got Matthew Stafford," Wright said. "He's definitely having an OK season. He can make any throw on that field, so you have to be aware of putting pressure on him because you put a little pressure on him, he kind of folds. You put a little pressure on him, you close the pocket on him, he hesitates. He doesn't make that perfect throw."

Seattle Seahawks WR Sidney Rice (head) was shaken up on the final play of the Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears, his 13-yard touchdown reception in overtime. Bears SS Major Wright crushed him at the goal line, jarring the ball loose after breaking the plane. Rice remained down for several moments, but was able to walk to the sideline with teammate WR Golden Tate under his own power. He was answering questions after the game, so it appears a concussion has been averted.

Chicago Bears S Chris Harris is focused on trying to create turnovers this year instead of laying hard hits on the opposing team, according to ChicagoBears.com's Larry Mayer. "It's all about the ball; that's kind of our motto in the secondary room. Ball first and then the hit. If you see you can't get the pick, then you lay a hit on the receiver. That's going for our whole secondary, though. (Defensive coordinator) Rod Marinelli constantly preaches when the ball's in the air, it's not changing directions. Once it's out of the quarterback's hand, it's a free ball, so go get it." Sharing time with S Major Wright has kept Harris healthy all season.
