Former Exec Reveals Why Chicago Bears Defense Just Became Tougher

The Chicago Bears spent most of the 2024 off-season focused on improving their offense. This isn’t a huge surprise since it once again finished among the league’s worst last season. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus knew that if they were going to start winning more games, it had to be through scoring more points. However, defense is still a prominent identity of this franchise. The unit played some of its best football in years down the stretch of last season. Trying to improve it even a little should’ve been a goal.
