Two things have been consistent all season with the Chicago Bears’ defense.
One, the unit will create takeaways. The Bears finished with a league-high 33 takeaways (23 interceptions and 10 fumbles). It's been a part of the unit's identity.
So has giving up yardage. Chicago allowed the fourth-most total yards (6,150) this season. Going into the playoffs, the Bears can't change who they have been all season and will have to hope the takeaways continue and the yards allowed don't translate into many points.
But there is also another metric that must continue throughout the postseason: the Bears’ red zone defense.
