CHICAGO – Charles Tillman returned one interception of Brett Favre 95 yards to set up a field goal, and Nathan Vasher carried a fourth-quarter pick 45 yards for a clinching touchdown as the Bears ended Green Bay's domination at Soldier Field.
On a day when their offense relied on four field goals by Robbie Gould, Chicago prevented Favre from throwing a TD pass against them – he'd done so in an NFL-record 26 straight games.
"All the years I've played against them, I think defensively this is as well as I've seen them play," said a banged-up Favre, who had swelling in his wrist and a cut on his hand after hitting it on the helmet of a Bears linemen while delivering a third-quarter pass. "They're just good."
The Bears (9-3) got their first home victory against the Packers since 1993 and extended their winning streak to eight.
