PackerReport.com: Walker, Franks provide scare (725 words)
Walker was tackled from behind by Bears defensive backs Charles Tillman and Bobby Gray.
Walker finished the game with three catches for 82 yards and a touchdown, capping his Pro Bowl regular season with 89 catches, 1,382 yards and 12 scores.
While Walker and Franks were playing with a meaningless game well in hand, an early 21-7 lead allowed Sherman to keep Brett Favre and Ahman Green safe on the sideline for the final two-and-a-half quarters.
