The Bears generally haven't played up to expectations this preseason, but they have shown improvement in at least one key area.
After generating just 15 takeaways on defense last season, the No. 1 unit forced turnovers in each of the team's first two preseason games and nearly added a third in Saturday's loss to the Chiefs. Given that the starters have seen limited action, that's pretty good production.
In the preseason opener against the Broncos, inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman intercepted a pass that was deflected by cornerback Bryce Callahan.
