In a loaded NFC North division featuring heavyweight players, units and teams, the Chicago Bears have been keeping up with the class of their conference. Their defense is sound, talented at all three levels and the Bears make it a slog for any offense not at the top of their game. They feature a weapon at punter (no, seriously) in rookie Tory Taylor, who has been worthy of weekly highlight videos from the Bears’ social media team.
Defense and special teams? Sounds like typical Chicago Bears. But, there’s something different about these Bears. The offense, boosted by going against a drop in defensive quality after playing the veteran-laden Titans and a feisty and speedy Texans unit in the first two weeks, has started to strip away fat that seemed to have too much going on. As the offense has started to crystalize, their No. 1 draft pick, and potential franchise savior, has started to turn his advanced process into tangible results. And that process and those results are as exciting as any player in the NFL, rookie or otherwise.
