Khalil Mack, Not Mitchell Trubisky, Is Driving Force Behind Bears' Turnaround
Chicago Bears' identity throughout the franchise's history has been built around its defense. The story remains the same, even after the additions of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and offensive-minded head coach Matt Nagy.
The organization's latest addition, Khalil Mack, will define its direction throughout the season and into the future. His performances during his first two games with the franchise have been nothing short of spectacular, appearing worthy of every dollar of the $141 million contract the Bears inked him to, while Trubisky continues to provide inconsistent play.
On the night the Bears honored Brian Urlacher at halftime by presenting his Ring of Excellence after being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Chicago captured a 24-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, and Mack showed why he's on his way to becoming the next well-known Monster of the Midway.

"He's a bad dude, man," Urlacher said, per The Athletic's Mark Lazerus. "I don't understand how you give up a guy who's that good. I'm still baffled how we got him. I'm glad [general manager Ryan Pace] made it happen. He's a great addition for our team. He fits in perfect with our history here."
