2. Get off to a fast start, and pound the gas
Something that has eluded the Bears offense this season has been fast starts, which have often left them trailing early on. That’s something they’ve done better over the last two games, utilizing that up-tempo offense to pound the gas and not let up.
Two weeks ago against the Lions, the Bears offense scored on its opening possession for just the second time this season. Last week against the Cowboys, the Bears offense was driving in the redzone, but a Mitchell Trubisky interception halted the drive. But the Bears responded immediately with three scoring drives (2 touchdowns, 1 field goal) in the rest of the first half.
The Bears need to get off to a fast start and utilize that up-tempo offense to get on top of this defense early and often. But it’s not enough to just muster it early. They need to sustain it throughout the first and second half.
