Jags’ Run Offense vs. Bears’ Run Defense

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports /

Chicago’s 24^th 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 (30^th 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
