I think when you sit back and look at the Bears in the last couple of games and you look at where they're at at this point of the season, you've got to ask yourself, is the defense good enough?
to make a playoff run?
And I think that's a legitimate question.
I think that the magic we saw earlier in the year when they had all the takeaways, and they've had a takeaway in each of the last couple games.
It just doesn't feel like they can plan on that and they must get them in order to win these games.
how do you look at that element of their team?
Is it luck of the draw?
Has that luck run out?
Do you believe they're going to win the turnover battle, and do they have to?

As you look at the reaction in game two of this series, again, three games in 34 days, but in the second game, the Bears came out.
Ben Johnson talked about it yesterday.
Their emotions were not in check.
I mean, you had the crowd surfing penalty to open the game.
You had the hit on the quarterback, a late hit on the quarterback early.
the Bears seemed like they were really shot out of a cannon.
And he talked about controlling emotions and he talked about how important it is not to pick up these penalties, etc.
Did the experience of that game teach them something?
I mean, in other words, they had a very poor start to that game.
