Woeful Bears run defense eyes Jayden Daniels, the engine of NFL's best ground game

The Bears are allowing 6.1 yards per carry, the second-most in the history of the sport — and they haven’t even faced a running quarterback yet. None of the passers the Bears have faced so far this season rank in the top half of quarterbacks in terms of rushing yards. One, the Lions’ Jared Goff, has only 9.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, then, will present a problem unlike one they’ve seen all season Monday night. Since entering the league a year ago, Daniels has run for 1,015 yards, the second-most in the NFL behind Lamar Jackson.
