2. Can Anyone but D.J. Moore step up for the Chicago Bears

The issue with the Denver Broncos secondary is that after Patrick Surtain, there are serious questions. Damarri Mathis has been the worst cornerback in the NFL this year, and Essang Bassey has not been looking good in the slot.

Justin Simmons is out, and Delarrin Turner-Yell was playing too much for this secondary. The reality is that they can be exposed. The issue is that the Chicago Bears have to do it with someone who is not D.J. Moore. Moore will be defended by Patrick Surtain.

The Chicago Bears can try to force it on him, and it may be their best plan, but they have to be able to rely on somebody else to step up if they want to win this game. Chase Claypool should beat Mathis; everyone is. Darnell Mooney has to shake off this rust against Bassey. These two are in the easy matchups, not Moore. The whole point of adding Moore was to put these two in this spot. Will they step up?
