GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Chicago Bears felt they had a top-10 defense last season.
This year, the bar is set much higher -- and rightfully so.
The driving force behind the Bears’ 2-1 start is the defense, which forced four more turnovers (on four consecutive series in the second half) in Chicago’s 16-14 come-from-behind win over the Arizona Cardinals.
“For our defense, three weeks in a row now they’ve done special things,” coach Matt Nagy said on Sunday.
Chicago is used to watching the Bears play a “special” brand of defense.
