Khalil Mack is a Chicago Bear and much of yesterday was spent dissecting the context of the move: what the trade meant. But there are major football implications associated with this acquisition as well, especially for this defense as they are currently constructed. In other words, this is what the trade does.

Mack will be Focal Point #1 for every opposing offensive coordinator because Mack is capable of ruining games.
