Make no mistake about it, the Bears defense is legitimately one of the league's best. Despite the team coming up short against the Saints in a 20-12 loss, the defense put together yet another dominant performance to cap off October, a month in which they gave up only one touchdown more (four) than they scored (three).
The past four games have rekindled memories of the Lovie Smith days, when any loosely carried football found its way to the ground and every play was truly a takeaway opportunity. The defense is playing a fast, physical and aggressive brand of football that is stifling some of the best offenses in the game.
