Behind enemy lines: Bears expert hints at Seahawks’ biggest concern

In an interview with 12th Man Rising, Bear Goggles On expert Ryan Heckman highlighted the Chicago Bears' creative defensive blitz packages as the biggest concern for the Seattle Seahawks ahead of their Week 8 Monday Night Football matchup. Heckman emphasized defensive coordinator Dennis Allen's use of defensive backs on blitzes, noting cornerback Kyler Gordon has recorded four sacks in two games since returning from injury.

Heckman also cited the Bears' NFL-leading time of possession and third-down efficiency behind quarterback Caleb Williams as major strengths. Conversely, he expressed concern regarding Chicago's cornerbacks covering Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, while 12th Man Rising noted Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold must handle Chicago's blitz pressure to succeed.
