Bears first-year defensive coordinator Sean Desai is looking forward to playing chess Sunday night.
“I’ve got some good practice at chess because I play with my kids,” he said. “So that’s a benefit for me.”
Desai doesn’t give an inch when he plays with his kids — and sometimes loses. Now the degree-of-difficulty gets ramped up exponentially when he matches wits with Sean McVay in the Bears’ season opener against the Rams on Sunday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Desai has been a part of game day for eight years as a quality control coach and safeties coach.
