Bears defensive tackle Justin Jones rushes against the Cardinals last month.

The Bears know what’s broken — and what isn’t.

While he’ll spend the next few weeks trying to rebuild his offensive staff, coach Matt Eberflus won’t mess much with a defense that finished the season as one of the best in the league.

In their final eight games, the Bears allowed the fewest points and lowest passer rating in the NFL. They led the league with 16 interceptions and were second in total takeaways during that same span.
