The Bears aren't thinking twice. They're moving full speed ahead with preparation for Sunday's game against Washington because they know their reserves can keep up.
In London, the Chicago Bears were down Tyrique Stevenson and Jaquan Brisker already when the defense suffered another blow.Nickelback Kyler Gordon departed with a hamstring injury. In came reserve Josh Blackwell.But Bears ' nickelback coach David Overstreet wasn't concerned. Instead, he started making predictions for Blackwell."The crazy part is I talked to him right before and I told him I said I felt like he was about to get an interception," Overstreet said.
Blackwell passed his biggest one with an interception on Trevor Lawrence that set up a Bears' touchdown."You can't just have him sitting there watching, you got to put them in the game," Overstreet said. "Josh has been doing that and getting all the reps, but also when we're in the meetings and we're watching the tape, I asked him questions and he answered the questions."Both Hicks and Blackwell have earned praise by having high football IQs.
