Defensive Line

Combined, Tennessee’s running back duo of DeMarco Murray and rookie Derrick Henry rush for over 100 yards and a touchdown. Although the Titans’ ball carriers did average over four yards per carry, Chicago’s defensive line took complete control of the line of scrimmage when it mattered most. In the third quarter, the line did a good job at taking on defenders and clearing space for linebackers to stop the Titans from scoring deep in the red zone. The Bears’ defensive front did the same late in the fourth quarter when nose tackle Eddie Goldman prevented Murray from getting a first down on a crucial third-and-two with the two-minute warning approaching.
