I know the ‘Defense Wins Championships’ mantra doesn’t carry as much weight as it used to in today’s NFL, but there’s no denying that a defense capable of making plays in big time moments can still help (or even carry) a team to victory. This Chicago Bears’ defense has been doing just that this year. Sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles, game altering third down stops, and just a general monstrous swagger has opposing offenses concerned when playing the Bears.
