Bears pressure. Overload fronts. Three straight snaps to close out that series. Via @MattBowen41 on X

What happened: Chicago's defense dialed up consecutive pressure packages to overwhelm the blocking scheme and force a stop.

Why it matters: Overload alignments outnumber one side of the offensive line, forcing the protection to slide or leave an unblocked rusher while the Bears protect their early shutout.

What to watch: Protection adjustments against Chicago's pressure looks will be tested on upcoming possessions as play continues.
