The Bears defence is actually a lot better than you might think it is. Overall, they’re ranked No. 4 in the league, while ranking No.4 and No. 2 against the pass and the run respectively. They’re also first in yards per passing attempt against and third in rushing yards per attempt. No wonder they have a better record than most think they have.
Also, how many snaps do you think that Tyler Thigpen has gotten in practice? He’ll be starting on a very short week and was No. 3 on the depth chart as recently as Sunday.
