5 early questions for the Chicago Bears in 2020

There is plenty of work that the Bears will do between now and the start of the season that will affect the trajectory of this team in 2020.

3. Can the defense maintain its dominance?

The Bears defense makes it look easy, but it’s difficult to maintain the level of dominance that they’ve had in the last two seasons. While 2019 was a far cry from 2018’s impressive statistical season, the Bears defense allowed the fourth-fewest points in the NFL. That, in spite of the offense’s struggles.

So as the Bears had into an offseason where the offense is of utmost focus, no one’s really talking about the defense. Make no mistake, the Bears defense has plenty to improve in 2020 — including getting more productive out of the pass rush and forcing more turnovers. But they’re not the unit everyone is worried about right now.
