And the hits keep coming for the Chicago Bears defense.

A week after Tim Jennings was named NFC Defensive Player of the Month, the other Bears corner back picks up his own accolade. Charles Tillman was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week following his second consecutive week with a pick 6.

Against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Tillman picked off a Blaine Gabbert pass and ran 36 yards for a touchdown. He also added 4 tackles and a pass defended.

His interception return pushed the Bears lead to 13-3 and opened the flood gates on the second half scoring wave.

That score gave "Peanut" the all time record for defensive touchdowns in Chicago Bears history.
