The Bears new-look interior line — with Cody Whitehair back at center, flanked by James Daniels at left guard and Rashaad Coward at right guard — has a game under its belt after last week’s victory over the Lions. But the degree-of-difficulty also goes up against Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, the two-time defending NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Donald, who led the NFL with 20.5 sacks last season, is off that pace this season — he has six sacks in nine games. But he’s still been a force — with a league-leading 14 tackles-for-loss and two forced fumbles.
