Bears' Offseason: Overhauling Defense for Next Season

0:00On April 1st, Chicago Bears had a solid run in 2025, stacking up wins left and right, but their defense was the clear Achilles heel, holding them back. They topped the NFL with 33 takeaways, which sounds elite on paper, but they got torched in past rush, coverage, and stopping the run, leaving big gaps everywhere. Team brass, including GM Ryan Johnson, echoed what defensive coordinator DA pointed out during recent self scouts. Top defenses don't need 11. Stars, just two or three elite tone setters who lift the whole unit. Now heading into the off season, overhauling that defense jumps straight to the top of the priority list to fix those leaks. Bears fans are hoping these moves turn the tide, building a squad that can dominate on all fronts come next season. NFL News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on Game Day.
