Chicago recorded two sacks versus the Texans last week. Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz was sacked twice versus the Cleveland Browns, but finished his NFL debut completing 22 of 37 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears will have to find a way to rattle the second overall pick from this year’s draft, even if it is just rushing Wentz into making throws too early. In addition, an effective pass rush will be needed in order to help Chicago’s inexperienced secondary.
