Keys To Victory: Are Chicago Bears Ready to Win At Home?

2. Create Turnovers

Last week, the Chicago Bears defense managed to force a total of two turnovers. As good as that is, the defense should have come up with more as Aaron Rodgers was injured. The image of Kyle Fuller dropping a wide open interception late in the fourth quarter is still fresh on fans minds. Now, against Russell Wilson, the will need to force more turnovers as not doing so could result in Wilson making a game-changing play.

Strip-sacking the quarterback is one way the defense can force more turnovers, however slowing down Seattle’s ariel attack is more crucial. Russell Wilson’s go-to wide receiver, Doug Baldwin, may not be able to play due to a knee injury. This means the Seahawks will rely heavily on Tyler Lockett, a player who’s established himself as a big play threat. Against the Broncos, Lockett averaged 19.67 yards per reception. While he had just three catches, he definitely proved that he is a solid option in the Seahawks ariel attack.

As of right now, it seems as if cornerback Kyle Fuller will be matched up against Lockett. What Fuller must do is consistently keep Lockett from getting into open space, otherwise, Lockett will likely catch the ball and end up making a big play. Additionally, Adrian Amos and Eddie Jackson must also be aware when the Seahawks run plays where Lockett will be running deep post routes.

If the Bears can slowly begin to breakdown Seattle’s ariel attack with multiple coverage looks, then the secondary could get a few early interceptions and allow the offense to work some magic.
