With the Falcons determined to run the football against one of the best run defenses in the NFL, Sunday's matchup against the Bears at the Georgia Dome promises to be old-school smash mouth affair. Falcons running back Michael Turner's 543 yards has caught the Bears attention. "We've got our work cut out for us." Chicago middle linebacker Brian Urlacher said. "This is going to be one of those very physical football games," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "It will be a good 15-rounder."
