Bears defense changing up tactics to generate a pass rush, shut down the run and quiet passing attacks.
It's taken a while but everything seems to be looking up finally for the Bears defense, and not just because coach Matt Eberflus finally got help on that side of the ball with the coaching staff.
"Honestly it felt good," cornerback Jaylon Johnson said."I felt like we played dominating football outside of that two minute before the halftime. Other than that, I feel like we dominated the game.The 2-of-13 effort on third downs against the Vikings reversed their horrendous start in this area. They're still worst in the NFL but at least it's just above 50% instead of pushing 60%.
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell noted how the Bears were more effective applying strategies he hadn't expected. "Just variations of coverage," Eberflus said."You can do a lot of different things with that because you've got some cover guys back, which was good to see, and youknow, we'll base it on our matchups every single week to see where we are. If we match up better on dime we'll just do that or we'll just play nickel. But it's a week-to-week thing."
