Jags’ Run Offense vs. Bears’ Run Defense

Chicago’s 24th ranked run defense needs much improvement, and should get a boost of confidence when playing against a Jaguars’ run offense that’s averaging only 75.2 yards per game (30th in the NFL). Running back T.J. Yeldon is Jacksonville’s leading rusher with only 155 yards, and he has carried the ball 20-plus times in only one contest this season. Since the Jags lean heavily on their passing game, stopping this impotent ground game shouldn’t be an issue for the Bears.

Advantage: Bears
