"Fox ball" - a trademark of Chicago Bears head coach John Fox that aims to run the ball, limit your passing game to game management, and rely primarily on your defense can be an infuriating concept for many to grasp in the NFL 2017. For this year's Bears, it's likely the best possible strategy at achieving any possible success. After six weeks, with a defense raising it's level of play week by week, there's a light at the end of the tunnel to this philosophy for Chicago.
In the Bears' 27-24 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, noted defensive guru Vic Fangio had his unit enjoy it's best performance of his entire Chicago tenure.
