Packers’ Power: Packers’ Jacobs-Led Rushing Attack Spells Trouble for Bears
Now might be a good time to start looking at the matchup on the field for the Bears on Sunday, and as we all know, it’s going to be a tough task. Matchups with Green Bay never seem to go well, and even when they’re down the games aren’t easy. This year, the Packers are 6-3 and in the thick of the NFC North race, and if they want to keep pace with Detroit and Minnesota, this game is massive for them.
Chicago’s defense has been by far the best unit the team has in 2024, and it’s been one of the top units in the NFL. However, this week they’ll be without safety Jaquan Brisker again who is unfortunately still dealing with a concussion. Oh, and Andrew Billings was placed on injured reserve last week with a torn pectoral. Not having those two in any game is a big deal, but this weekend especially those are two huge losses for Chicago. Brisker excels at playing the run, and Billings has been outstanding at clogging the middle, taking up double teams, and freeing things up for the Bears linebackers to fill holes and stop the run.
