The Bears’ defense is barely removed from allowing the most points by any team in the NFL this season, so they’re in no position to underestimate anybody.
While the Raiders have sputtered offensively, averaging just 17.7 points, they still have star power. When the Bears visit them on Sunday, three players could cause serious problems for them: quarterback Geno Smith, rookie running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers.
Smith has been in the league 13 seasons, Bowers was All-Pro as a rookie last season and, at No. 6 overall, Jeanty was the highest-drafted running back since Saquon Barkley.
