Chicago Bears’ Dennis Allen leaning hard on proven veteran amid playoff run
The Chicago Bears‘ defense is much more than turnover vultures.
While it’s true that Chicago led the league in takeaways this season, the Bears’ defense has been coming up big with timely stops over the final month of the season, including holding the Green Bay Packers to six second-half points in a thrilling 31-27 comeback victory.
Chicago Bears’ defensive coordinator confident in D’Marco Jackson
Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen drafted D’Marco Jackson, when he was the head coach of the New Orleans Saints, and when the veteran linebacker was pressed into action against Green Bay, he delivered.
Jackson posted five total tackles against the Packers, including a pivotal tackle for loss against Packers running back Josh Jacobs that forced a three-and-out.
Ahead of Sunday’s clash against the Los Angeles Rams, Allen is brimming with confidence that Jackson can once again rise to the moment.
“He’s been a part of the system for a long time,” Allen told reporters this week. “And I think he’s done a great job taking advantage of the opportunities that he’s been given. We’ve used him in multiple different roles, as a Mike linebacker, as a Sam linebacker, and he just goes in there and does a really good job of executing his responsibility.
“But I do think the fact that he’s been in the system and understands what we’re trying to get accomplished is beneficial for our whole team, just in terms of the communication.”
Jackson and his teammates on defense put the ball back in Caleb Williams’ hands throughout the second half, and the star quarterback once again delivered in the clutch, capping the largest comeback in Chicago postseason history.
“I was sitting down on the bench during that final touchdown,” Jackson said. “I knew offense was about to do that. So I wasn’t really surprised. In my head, I’m thinking, ‘Hey, it’s time to go out and shut these boys out. I feel like we’ve been in this position, and now it’s time for defense to go out and close it out.’”
