Linebackers
Because of the defensive line’s play, Chicago’s linebackers had an easy time stuffing the holes against the running game. Jacksonville’s running backs and tight ends were a nonfactor in the passing game, thanks to the coverage from the Bears’ linebacking corps. Willie Young recorded two sacks and a forced fumble. Unfortunately, three of the Bears’ 10 penalties were committed by the linebackers, including a facemask penalty by Young that led to the Jag’s first touchdown of the game.
