As the Bears prepare for the Saints, here’s what Chicago’s offense needs to do against New Orlean’s defense in the wild-card round.
The Chicago Bears will face off against the New Orleans Saints in the wild-card round of the 2020 NFC playoffs where nobody is giving them a chance to win.
It’s easy to sound like a broken record with this offense, but playing a clean game against the Saints is going to be key for this Bears offense to have a chance to pull off the upset.
As the Bears prepare for face the Saints, here’s what Chicago’s offense needs to do to get going against New Orlean’s defense in the wild-card round.
Here are three reasons why the Bears have a good chance of defeating the Titans in Week 9.
The Chicago Bears are looking to get back to their winning ways when they face the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. Both the Bears and Titans have lost their last two games, which means one of those losing streaks comes to an end on Sunday.
While no one is confident the Bears will find a way to pull out a win against the Titans, there is definitely a possibility that Chicago can find a way to get it done. But it all comes down to execution, something that has snakebitten them in past weeks.
Still, here are three reasons why the Bears have a good chance of defeating the Titans in Week 9.
As the Bears prepare for face the Saints, here’s what Chicago’s defense needs to do to slow down New Orleans’ offense in Week 8.
The Chicago Bears are coming off a brutal 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on national television, and they’re looking to rebound against a dangerous New Orleans Saints team.
The Bears defense has been the team’s strength and the main reason they’re 5-2 through these first seven weeks. And they’re going to need their defense to rise to the challenge, once again, against a Saints offense that features quarterback Drew Brees and versatile running back Alvin Kamara.
As the Bears prepare for face the Saints, here’s what Chicago’s defense needs to do to slow down New Orleans’ offense in Week 8.
The Bears defense has found success against the Lions in the past, and they’ll be looking to slow down Detroit’s passing attack.
The Chicago Bears will be looking to win their first season-opening game in seven years when they face off against their NFC North rivals the Detroit Lions.
While there’s some apprehension about the Bears’ offense, that hasn’t been the case for the defense. They’ll be returning some key pieces in Year 2 of Chuck Pagano’s system, as well as adding some new talent in pass rusher Robert Quinn, cornerback Jaylon Johnson and safety Tashaun Gipson.
The Bears will be without Quinn on Sunday, as he’s missed practice all week and has been listed as doubtful, but there’s still plenty of talent on this Chicago defense to take care of business against Detroit.
Here are three keys for the Bears defense when they open the season against the Lions.
1. Bring the pressure on Matthew Stafford
While the Lions have been bad as of late, they’re going to get a boost with the return of quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was playing at an MVP level before injuring his back and missing most of last season. The Bears defense has had their way with Stafford in the past, but they’re going to need to bring the pressure and make it as uncomfortable back there as possible.
They should take advantage of a battered Lions offensive line that will be vulnerable on the right side. Detroit will be without veteran right tackle Vaitai Halapoulivaati, and they’ll be starting rookie Jonah Jackson at right guard, who will be challenged immediately going against Akiem Hicks and Bilal Nichols.
