Not too many things have gone right for the Bears this season, but the emergence of defensive end Akiem Hicks is one of them.
Hicks was named NFC defensive player of the week after his two-sack performance against the 49ers last week.
It was his second multi-sack game of the season, after getting a pair against the Vikings earlier this year.
The free-agent pickup has played solidly, and if he were surrounded by more or healthy players, might be making a bigger difference.
