  • 3rd and 6 on Bears’ 1st Possession from their own 29 yard line.
  • Bears line up in a “trips” bunch formation to right, with TE Cole Kmet lined up to the left
  • Cardinals show man to man coverage underneath with safety help deep and a 4 man rush.
  • Cardinals get good edge pressure on the QB from Markus Golden and Chandler Jones, which causes QB Andy Dalton to rush his throw.
