Run game and defense matters, and I think the Bears got a good, solid run game.
Offensive line, obviously we see left tackle matters too with how Will Campbell was bullied.
But defensively, being able to pressure without blitzing is the best way to beat any quarterback.
In Seattle, the stunts, the games they're playing, they have double-mug pressures with the linebackers.
The linebackers back out.
They jump out to their zone coverages.
Then you're sending defensive backs.
Devin Weatherspoon, Eamon Warrior, blitzing.
So there's becoming...
This change, this shift to trying to find a group of guys that can just get pressure, not so much just focus on having the Brady, the Mahomes.
Now you're seeing teams win the last two Super Bowls with defensive lines that are just big and can pressure the passer.
Which one was more impressive to you, the defensive performances in the last two Super Bowls?
Was it the Eagles or the Seahawks?
I would say probably the Eagles, and I think that was because they didn't blitz Patrick Mahomes one time.
They sat back Vic Fangio in the cover two shell and just got after Mahomes.
And the best quarterback of this generation, they made him look pedestrian.
Obviously the Seahawks defense did great, but you look, the Patriots were stumbling into this game.
They played a lot of good defenses, and I'm not going to hate on Drake May.
I would still take Caleb over Drake May, thank you very much.
But he is not the same caliber guy as Patrick Mahomes, I'm sorry.
