Chicago Bears: 3 Bold predictions for Week 6 vs. Dolphins
The defense continues its march to being the best
During the preseason, the Bears defense wanted to improve on their top-10 status of last year. They wanted to show everyone they could be a top-five defense. That all changed with the Khalil Mack trade.

Now, the Monsters of the Midway are back and dominating. They are second overall and first against the rush. They still have some work to do against the pass, ranking 24th in passing yards allowed and 15th in passing touchdowns allowed.
The defense will have a complete game against the Dolphins. They’ll dominate Miami’s offensive line and harass Tannehill. Tannehill has made some bad decisions under pressure that resulted in costly turnovers. He’ll do it again on Sunday. Additionally, if the Dolphins fall behind early, they’ll abandon the run to get back into it. Then the Bears pass rushers can just go and tee off.
Even if Miami tries to use the combination of Kenyon Drake and Frank Gore, Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, and Jonathan Bullard/Roy Robertson-Harris will keep them at bay. The Dolphins will struggle to move the ball all day long. The Bears defense will growl and take a bite out of the Dolphins. Another dominating performance on their way to the top.
Prediction: 213 total yards allowed, 4 sacks, 2 interceptions, 10 points allowed
