Of all the team’s that could have been augmented by the defensive player in the game, of course it had to be the Chicago Bears.
Former Bears head coach John Fox and current defensive coordinator Vic Fangio had already built a good defense in Chicago, and Fangio was kept in charge of the unit as new head coach Matt Nagy, an offensive specialist from Kansas City, came aboard to run things.
Putting Mack on the Bears’ front seven, which includes standout players like Pro Bowl defensive Akiem Hicks, linebacker Danny Trevathan and outstanding rookie linebacker Roquan Smith, was almost criminal.
