5 matchups Chicago Bears must win vs Packers

Khalil Mack vs Bryan Bulaga

Bryan Bulaga still gets the name recognition of being a top NFL tackle. However, after an injury in 2017, it is hard to say that he has been the same in the past two seasons. Bulaga has allowed eight sacks over the past two years, and some of his worst games in that span include Chicago.

With that in mind, this is a huge chance for Khalil Mack to break out. Mack has had a bit of a down year. However, we have mentioned that the loss of Akiem Hicks did not help things. Mack took on more double teams than ever before and could not avoid attention.

Now, Hicks is back. On top of that, Leonard Floyd has always brought out his best performances for Green Bay. Remember, two of his three sacks this year came in Week One against Green Bay.

Chicago moves the two around, and both will have their time with Bulaga. Winning on the right side is key to winning the pressure battle upfront. The Bears need to take advantage of the right matchups and get Hicks on the field to avoid double teams. If they can do that, the pressure will be hard for Aaron Rodgers to deal with.
