Julius Peppers Makes His Presence Felt in Bears' Thumping of Miami

Julius Peppers sacks Tyler Thigpen

MIAMI -- The sleeping giant wasn't really asleep.

"Sacks are overrated," Julius Peppers said late Monday night. "But it's nice to get 'em."

Peppers, the Chicago Bears' $91.5 million free agent defensive end, got three in the 16-0 shutout of the Miami Dolphins, more than he'd gotten all season, but that's not to suggest the five-time Pro Bowl and one of the game's preeminent pass-rushers of the past decade had been a disappointment before his breakout performance at Sun Life Stadium.

"Every team we've played has felt his presence," outside linebacker Lance Briggs said.

Added middle linebacker Brian Urlacher: "He's too good. If they don't double him, the sacks will come. That's just what he does."
