Anyone who watched this football game saw that Jerrell Freeman was the best player on the field for the Chicago Bears. Simply put, he was everywhere. He finished the day with 17 tackles and was on the field for all but one defensive snap.

Many (myself included) were shocked that the Indianapolis Colts didn’t make more of an effort to keep Freeman on the roster. They didn’t feel he was worth the money he was asking for, but the Bears did. It’s just one game, but it appears to be the Colts loss and the Bears gain. Trevathan and Freeman combined for approximately one-third of the Bears total tackles.

Freeman’s play was tremendous and he graded out as the second best linebacking performance in the entire NFL and one of the top ten performances of week one regardless of position.
