Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday. Urlacher spearheaded a Chicago defense that kept the high-powered Atlanta Falcons out of the end zone in a 30-12 win on Sunday. He led the Bears with 10 tackles and added an interception while also returning a fumble 12 yards for a touchdown. The 12th-year veteran from New Mexico earned his sixth weekly honor and first since the 2004 season.
