Imagine going into a game where multiple starters are out, and more get hurt, making things worse. That's what Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen faced in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he never batted an eye about it.
Down their top three linebackers, one pass rusher, and their top two cornerbacks, the Bears' defense still managed to hold the Steelers to 345 yards of offense and allowed just seven points in the second half. All that adversity and the Bears still pulled out a 31-28 win over Pittsburgh to move to 8-3 on the season.
