Bears Defense Solid Against Colts In Week 3
3 months agoOn Sunday, the Chicago Bears' defense and special teams performed well, keeping the team competitive despite a tough matchup. The Bears intercepted Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson twice, both on passes thrown directly to their defenders. While these interceptions were beneficial, the pass defense struggled at times, allowing several big plays, including a 44-yard completion to Alec Pierce over cornerback Jaylon Johnson. Overall, the Bears limited Richardson to 167 yards with a 50 percent completion rate, but the explosive plays they allowed led to touchdown runs by Jonathan Taylor and Trey Sermon. Taylor, known for his patience as he waits behind the line before bursting through openings, proved challenging to contain. Although the Bears made him earn his yards, they still allowed him to rack up 110 yards at an average of 4.8 yards per carry, including a 29-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The Bears did manage to keep Richardson in check on the ground, limiting him to just 24 yards on eight carries, but Taylor's contributions were enough to secure a win for Indianapolis. The Bears will face another tough matchup next week against the Los Angeles Rams, but they are a must start.
