From the start this season, the Chicago Bears' defense has impacted by injuries. The work defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and his staff have done to navigate multiple key absences has been quite good, with a league-best 31 takeaways to cover for allowing a lot of yards at times.

In four of their last six games, with some key defensive players returning from injury, the Bears have allowed 17 or fewer points.
