Coral Gables, Fla. ? The Chicago Bears worked on third-down plays, their two-minute offense and special teams responsibilities Thursday during practice for Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Indianapolis Colts.

The 1-hour, 45-minute session at the University of Miami saw the Bears dressed in shells and shorts. Coach Lovie Smith said the spirited workout mirrored what the team normally does on that day.

“Wednesday you start putting in the initial game plan. Thursday, you’ve had a chance to go over it and get some of the kinks out,” Smith said.

“And Thursday is our third-down day. It’s more up-tempo, blitzing, passing game, two-minute drill. That all gets involved a little more.”

The practice ended with a drive by the second-team offense and featured a long pass from backup quarterback Brian Griese to practice squad player Mike Hass.

The Bears will hold another light practice today at the school before heading to Dolphin Stadium, the site of Sunday’s game, for a workout Saturday.
