Chicago Bears: 3 Bold predictions for Week 3 vs. Falcons

3. Chicago Bears hold the Atlanta Falcons to less than 21 points

This is well beyond a bold prediction. In fact, some would consider it a hot take. For whatever it may be called, there comes a time where the Chicago Bears defense goes ballistic like their predecessors and establish their name and physicality from the beginning.

Without the flashy stats in the last two weeks, the Bears defense will need a performance of turnovers in order to show that they really among the NFL’s elite rather than relying on their record to do so.

Plus, the Falcons have scored 64 points int heir last two games including 39 in the loss last week to the Cowboys.

No question, defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano is furious with nearly blowing the game last week and without a doubt plans to turn up the pressure to another level. Considering Atlanta’s offensive line hasn’t been the best, it will be a tough time for Ryan and co. to get moving.

Pressure is the key ingredient for the recipe of victory.
