The Chicago Bears have always been known for their dominant defenses. But they’re coming off a disappointing season where their secondary was among the worst in the NFL.
While the offense has been the national narrative’s focal point this offseason, the defense has undergone some big changes.
Not only are they learning a new scheme under Matt Eberflus, but they’re down some key starters along the defensive line in edge rusher Khalil Mack and defensive tackles Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman and Bilal Nichols. Although they have added some young talent, including cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker.
