Mike Tomlin: 'Chicago Bears are taking their opportunities'

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin believes that the Chicago Bears have taken their chances during their first two games of the 2013 NFL season.

Mike Tomlin has said that the Chicago Bears have won their first two games of the 2013 NFL season by taking their opportunities.

The NFC North side claimed a 24-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the opening week of the season, before beating the Minnesota Vikings by a single point last Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers head coach told the team's official website: "It's really simple, their offense is delivering timely situational plays. They're converting 50 percent of their third downs, they're delivering appropriate two-minute drives in both games.

"Defensively, they've been opportunistic. Not only are they causing turnovers, but they're scoring. And on special teams they have great specialists. Robbie Gould, their kicker, has a great leg, and the great Devin Hester flipped the field quite a bit last week versus the Minnesota Vikings.

"They have a lot of shotgun running game, and it really complements their passing game. It leans toward the strengths of their runner. Matt Forte has great pick and vision and patience. He's a man for all situations."

The Steelers play the Bears tonight.
