1. Ryan Kerrigan

When you actually break it down, Kerrigan is one of the most underrated players in the entire NFL. Kerrigan has been in the NFL since 2011. His career low in sacks is 7.5, which he recorded as a rookie. He has four years going over 10 sacks, and has a 9.5 sack season that almost made it five.

Of course he has a sack already this season. Kerrigan also has seven pressures in two games so far. So, about three or four times per game, he is frustrating the heck out of the quarterback. Kerrigan has typically lined up on the left side, so he is taking on right tackles. This will be an immense test for Bobby Massie, who held up well against the fearsome pass rush of Denver.

Now, in back to back road games against tight competition it will be on Massie to protect Trubisky from an elite talent. Kerrigan may not be talked about with the best in the game, but he is right there with them. The Bears have to account for him on every play and cannot take his efforts lightly if they want to beat Washington in a game that they should be expected to win.
