The Chicago Bears run defense is hanging on by a thread. Will Derrick Henry break the dam?

The Chicago Bears have an excellent defense, but there is a clear weakness in 2020. Whether it be the loss of Eddie Goldman, a decline from Danny Trevathan, or scheme, the Bears have been a worse run defense than in years past.

The Saints took advantage on Sunday with Alvin Kamara, who not only received for 99 yards but averaged over 5 yards per carry on the ground. The week before the Rams piled up 25 carries for 120 yards between Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson.
