1. The Chicago Bears secondary is elite
The Chicago Bears pass rush might be such a pleasant surprise because the secondary is making life easier on them. The quarterback has to hold the ball a second longer and think about the decision he has to make because of how stacked the secondary is.
There was talk that this unit would make a name for themselves this year, and so far they have. Jaylon Johnson had one interception in his first three seasons in the NFL. He had four last year and now two this year as he continues his ascension to being the best in the NFL.
Tyrique Stevenson has taken a step in year two, and Kyler Gordon has become one of the most complete slot cornerbacks in the NFL when you add in his blitzing and run defense.
When you add in that Jaquan Brisker is healthy and Kevin Byard is an upgrade over Eddie Jackson, this is the best secondary in Chicago has had since 2018. This unit can hang with any group of receivers in the NFL and they will keep the Bears in every game throughout the year.
