The Bears’ second-half defense is one of the most promising indicators for Matt Eberflus and his coaching staff.
The Bears have consistently been better in the second half than the first through Eberflus’ first five games. Their plus-54 points differential from the first half (80 points allowed) to the second (26) is the best in the NFL. Their 26 points allowed in the second half is the fifth fewest in the league. The Bears have allowed fewer points in the second half in each game.
