Julius Peppers doesn't have a ton of sacks this season, but it would be hard to find anyone who’s improved more on defense. Peppers had just two sacks going into Thursday's game at Miami, but he came up with three in the shutout of the Dolphins. "I think he's great," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said. "I wouldn't take another defensive player in the league. He's a great player, he's impacted our defense, he's a guy you have to account for."
