The Chicago Bears Defense recorded only one sack in the team's season-crushing 21-13 loss to the Packers. A unit that dominated in the turnover category one year ago had two fumble recoveries negated by penalties and replays in this game. The pass rush rarely was able to get to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team's playoff hopes have all but evaporated. The Bears defense will have an extremely tough test against the Chiefs in Week 16. It would be wise to possibly consider other options with two games, perhaps only one in fantasy, left in the season.

The Chicago Bears Defense will take on the Packers in Week 15 and Green Bay is allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing defenses. The Bears defense is loaded with talent but have been extremely disappointing from a fantasy perspective this season. They currently rank outside of the top-15 in fantasy points scored among defenses and have 10 or more fantasy points only once over their last nine games. The biggest issue for the team has been a steep decline in turnovers and sacks from the previous season. The Packers offense hasn't lit up the league this season but the Bears defense lacks enough fantasy appeal to keep them on the bench in Week 15.
