Allen’s Defense Under Fire Again | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears’ high-flying defensive hopes with Dennis Allen hit a wall thanks to brutal injuries—key players like Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon went down before the season, leaving a shaky secondary and a defense that ranked near the bottom in yards and points allowed. Yet, they led the league with 33 takeaways, thanks to gritty performances from Nahshon Wright and DMarco Jackson, proving depth and adaptability can still win you games. Now, with more injuries looming and takeaways looking less reliable, fans worry about another disappointing year—and Allen’s future. But don’t count him out: he turned the Saints’ defense around over years, and with time on his side, he might just do it again—even if patience is running thin.
