The Bears’ defense found a solution to its first-half problems Thursday night — execution, pressure and a favorable matchup.
Facing a Commanders team that presented none of the problems that had flummoxed the Bears in the first half previously this season — Aaron Rodgers’ passing, Daniel Jones’ bootleg runs, Saquan Barkley’s excellence and Kirk Cousins-to-Justin Jefferson — the Bears nearly pitched a first-half shutout against Carson Wentz and the Commanders.
