Chicago Bears: Three reasons the NFC North is wide open in 2020
By Usayd Koshul
4. What does a wide-open division mean for the Bears?
The NFC North is the most wide-open that’s it’s been in recent years. Much like any other offseason, moves were made with the hopes that any franchise can rise to the top. However, for the Bears, a wide-open division means they’ve got a chance to really put their foot down and separate themselves from the pack.
Easily, Chicago has the best defense. With a healthy Akiem Hicks expected to form a dominant pass rush trio alongside Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn, the hope is that the Bears can once again lead the NFL in sacks and takeaways.
On offense, they’ve got one of the more underrated wide receivers in the NFL in Allen Robinson, and then hopeful breakout candidates in running back David Montgomery and wide receiver Anthony Miller.
Next. Chicago Bears; Mitchell Trubisky will win the starting job. dark
If the Bears are healthy, there’s no reason to think that they can’t win the division or at least compete for a division title. It will, however, come down to one factor: Stable quarterback play. Whether Mitchell Trubisky or Nick Foles or both are starting at some point in 2020, both will need to be consistently good in order to keep the Bears hopes of making the playoffs alive.
