The one new addition to the offseason for the Chicago Bears that was going to be an automatic lock for being a great move was trading for Joe Thuney. That trade paid off right away in Week 1.
Thuney stood out as one of the few bright spots to the Bears' 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. He wasn't allowing any quarterback pressures and stood strong against a solid Vikings defensive line.
There were some initial struggles with getting the running game going in the trenches at the beginning. Thuney helped lead the way in the second half when Bears running back D'Andre Swift was finally able to break out some big runs.
