The Broncos are back in the thick of the AFC playoff race, and another win at Chicago could make them the clear No. 1 in the AFC West.

"This is our division," Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall said after Monday's 34-20 victory over Tennessee. "It's always been our division. It's time for us to take it back. San Diego, Kansas City, they don't have the talent like us in the locker room."

The Broncos got back in the race with two big wins versus Kansas City and Tennessee, with the help of young stars like Jay Cutler, Selvin Young and Marshall.

"He works at it and puts in a lot of great effort and shows a lot of poise," Denver coach Mike Shanahan said. "He has the ability to make the plays in the clutch. Those are the characteristics of a great quarterback."

The Bears will be pushing hard to stop the Broncos offensive attack. After being touted as one of the best defenses in the NFL in 2006 the Bears rank 22nd on defense this year.

"Got to play better. Too many yards," linebacker Brian Urlacher said following a day where the Bears allowed over 400 yards in total offense.
