A Chicago defense that led the league in takeaways in 2018 and scored six touchdowns, while also ranking first in the league in points allowed, first against the run, and third in total yards, lost coordinator Vic Fangio to the head coaching job in Denver.

Former Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is in the Bears’ back end now alongside former Alabama teammate Eddie Jackson, but the front seven still features Khalil Mack, Akiem Hicks and Roquan Smith, among others. Rodgers also feels the Bears have a number of good players who aren’t big names.
“I think whether it’s Vic calling it or Coach Pagano there’s a lot of things you can do with that personnel,” Rodgers said.
