CHICAGO -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the Chicago Bears' 21-13 victory over the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field: Weight off their shoulders: Sporting a cowboy hat in the locker room after the victory, defensive end Jared Allen expressed relief in the Bears winning their first game in more than a month. "People questioned the character of our locker room, but we know what we have," Allen said. "You can only get beat up so many times before you fight back." Allen finished the game with five tackles and a sack to go with three quarterback hits. Room cleared out quickly: The celebratory locker room in the bowels of Soldier Field cleared out quickly after the team's win. Left tackle Jermon Bushrod sat alone dressing while linebackers Jonathan Bostic and Christian Jones -- wearing a Florida State cap -- chatted across the room. Those three and safety Brock Vereen were the last to leave the locker room.
