Outside linebackers Sam Acho, Leonard Floyd, defensive ends Akiem Hicks, Roy Roberston-Harris, and corner backs Marcus Cooper and Kyle Fuller performed well, for the most part, in holding Atlanta. When they were on top of the ball carrier, they stopped him with full force. But there was an exception – after a Bears’ touchdown, in the fourth quarter, on the third down, they blew their coverage, allowing the Falcons’ to score. They need to pressure the quarterback more to avoid these bombs from hitting their targets.
Two: Running back Tarik Cohen
To make up for Atlanta’s touchdown, Cohen gained 46 yards.
