The Chicago Bears defense needs to be at the peak of its powers if this team is going to be as good as it wants to be. And ever since giving up 23 early points to the Lions in Week 1, they’re playing like a group that’s possessed.
First, it was Robert Quinn making his presence felt in his Bears debut:

Welcome to Chicago, Robert! Here’s a strip-sack for you, and a recovered fumble for your pal Khalil Mack for his efforts.
And later, it was Deon Bush playing the passing lanes:

Chicago’s pass-rush has been relentless. Its pass defense in coverage has been just as good, too.
Getting 10 early points has been nice, but the defensive pressure making things happen is an absolute joy to see!
