10 major questions emerging from Chicago Bears loss to New Orleans Saints

3. How can the Chicago Bears slow down passses to running backs?

The Chicago Bears have a serious problem giving up yards to running backs in the passing game. It started with Aaron Jones in week one and did not stop. Guys like Jaleel McLaughlin and Antonio Gibson had success, but they were not as dynamic. So, with Austin Ekeler and Alvin Kamara on the schedule for the last two weeks, this was overly exposed.

Ekeler rocked them, and while Kamara had four catches for 44 yards, he was held in check overall. Still, Kendre Miller also had a 31-yard explosive catch. What is going to stop this from happening? With Tremaine Edmunds out, they went with Jack Sanborn, and it was still an issue. TJ Edwards has been good elsewhere, but this was supposed to be his area, and he is struggling. Jaquan Brisker has been injured seemingly all season. Can anyone step up and make this less of an issue? Or will they continue to let guys like Kendre Miller and Alexander Mattison break long gains on them?
