With WR Brandon Marshall sitting out due to injury, the Chicago Bears will see four players walk on the field for 2013's NFL Pro Bowl, and all of them will be defensive starters.
DE Julius Peppers, DT Henry Melton, CB Charles Tillman, and CB Tim Jennings will all suit up for the NFC this evening, meaning that more than one-third of the starting defense will be represented by Chicago.
This could be viewed as one final tip of the cap from Bears players to former head coach Lovie Smith, who orchestrated one of the most consistent defenses in the NFL over the last decade.
