The beauty of having Khalil Mack on a Bears defense loaded with playmakers — in theory — is that he’s fool-proof.
In the prime of his prime at 28, Mack either wrecks the game by destroying single, double- and sometimes triple-teams, or opponents have to use so many offensive players to neutralize him that somebody else on the Bears’ talented defense — Leonard Floyd, Akiem Hicks, Roquan Smith, Danny Trevathan, Eddie Goldman, Aaron Lynch — is going to come free or merely have to win a one-on-one battle to get to the ball carrier or the quarterback and make a big play.
