Why Are the Packers and Bears Struggling to Define Their Defensive Identity This Season?

Why Are the Packers and Bears Struggling to Define Their Defensive Identity This Season?

The Bears did not start the season looking all that strong as they dropped the opener to the Vikings despite leading after three quarters. Then they played the Lions and were humiliated, losing 52-21. After that, it was smooth sailing, winning nine of their next ten games, only losing to the Ravens. In fairness, though, they weren’t beating great teams. They beat the Cowboys, Raiders, Commanders, Saints, Bengals, Giants, Vikings, Steelers, and Eagles. Only those last two are making the playoffs this season. They also beat the Browns and the Packers, more on that one in a moment. The other losses were against the Packers, 49ers, and the Lions. While all three of those games were close and winnable, they didn’t. They won the division despite going just 2-4 in it, tied with the Lions for the worst record in the division. There is still reason to be optimistic as Caleb Williams took a big step forward and looked very good this year.
