The Chicago Bears' defense has been a mixed bag of good and bad this season. Overall, though, Dennis Allen has been as advertised as a defensive mind, navigating multiple key injuries.
Allen also sees the potential for things to solidify and improve moving forward. With the Bears at 6-3 after a 0-2 start, an overall stingier defense will be crucial in staying in the NFC playoff race as the schedule starts to toughen up.
The Bears enter Week 11 26th in the league against the pass (240.3 yards allowed per game), and they are similarly dismal in deeper metrics against opposing passing attacks.
