Linebackers
Just like their defensive line, the Bears’ linebackers were dealing with some injuries to key players within their corps. Once again, Jerrell Freeman spearheaded the attack with a game-high 12 tackles. Rookie Leonard Floyd had five tackles of his own, but proved not to be quite ready to fill in as a premier pass rusher. Willie Young also found it difficult to get around the edge, and was found guilty of a roughing-the-passer foul. As a unit, Chicago’s linebackers spent most of the time trying to catch Cowboys’ rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott from behind.
