Driven by Khalil Mack, Bears' defense starting to look special
The Bears' defense is starting to take on the look of something special with Khalil Mack chasing quarterbacks and takeaways coming in droves.
Seth Walder ESPN Analytics
Khalil Mack has 15 pressures this season, the exact same number as the entire Raiders team, per NFL Next Gen Stats. Oakland is the only team with fewer than 20 pressures this year. Mack ranks second among players in total pressures and pressure rate (min. 60 pass rushes) this season, only behind Bills DL Jerry Hughes.

Bears' defense erases 14-point deficit, but better balance needed
The Bears forced four turnovers to claw past the Cardinals and take over first place in the NFC North, but they need more from Mitchell Trubisky.

The first place Chicago Bears. It sounds strange, but it's true. The Bears won't be a true playoff contender until quarterback Mitchell Trubisky becomes a more accurate and consistent passer, but Chicago's defense proved it's worth again with four takeaways in the Bears' 16-14 comeback win over Arizona. With better offense, the Bears will be a tough team to beat.

The Bears announce that cornerback Prince Amukamara suffered a hamstring injury and is doubtful to return.

What an ugly 30 minutes by the Bears, who came out flat for the first time in the Matt Nagy era. The Bears are lucky to only trail Arizona 14-3 at halftime. Khalil Mack bailed out Mitchell Trubisky, who threw a pick late in the second quarter, when he sacked Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford on third-down, which pushed Arizona out of field goal range. The Bears will need a much better performance by Trubisky in the second half to stage a comeback.
Jeff Dickerson ESPN Staff Writer
Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller was injured during a 7-yard completion in the first quarter. Miller was able to walk off the field under his own power, but a trainer held Miller's left arm as they escorted the second-round pick into the trainers tent. After a few minutes, Miller emerged from the tent and was given his helmet back. It looks as if Miller will be available when Chicago begins its next offensive drive.
Jeff Dickerson ESPN Staff Writer
With a victory over the Arizona Cardinals (coupled with losses by Green Bay and Minnesota) the Bears would have sole possession of first place in the NFC North for the first time since Week 16 of the 2013 season.
Jeff Dickerson ESPN Staff Writer
Chicago Bears inactives vs. Arizona: cornerback Marcus Cooper, safety DeAndre Houston-Carson, linebacker Isaiah Irving, linebacker Kylie Fitts, offensive lineman Rashaad Coward, wide receiver Javon Wims, defensive tackle Nick Williams.
Seth Walder ESPN Analytics
Chicago is a 6-point favorite in Vegas, but only a 2-point favorite according to FPI.
Mitchell Trubisky makes positive steps, still work in progress
Mitchell Trubisky was taken eight picks ahead of Patrick Mahomes but hasn't progressed as quickly. Still, Matt Nagy sees his new QB making strides.
Josina: Bears supportive of Trubisky developing at 'own pace' (0:50)
The NFL's most unbalanced teams -- and how they can fix it
Some teams can light up the scoreboards. Others can shut down the opposition. Some can do both, but these teams skew heavily one way or the other.
