Rivalries between two teams with contrasting styles is a rare sight in the NFL of today. When most organizations are (rightfully) centering around building high-powered offensive attacks with a merely capable defense, classic battles between opposites become a secondary thought. In a way, a clash of the modern Bears and Rams presents a tilt of a lost art.
The Bears’ identity is simple. Centered around a dominant defense, perhaps the best defense of the last half decade, Khalil Mack and company rarely have issues flexing their muscles on the myriad incompetence of quarterbacks in pro football.
