Report: Chicago Bears trade Justin Fields to NFC South Contender in Shocking 2024 Trade Proposal

In addition to the cold weather conditions, the Atlanta Falcons will be up against

the tough Bears when they visit Chicago in December.

The Falcons’ game plan faces a distinct challenge from the Bears’ improved run defence,

especially when it comes to using running back Bijan Robinson.

The Bears allow just 3.6 yards per carry on early-down runs by running backs,

which puts them in an amazing No. 4 position in the league in yards per carry allowed.

Their defence is very strong, ranking No. 6 in EPA per attempt and No. 5 in success rate

when it comes to stopping running back runs.

Their outstanding progress places them among the top five defences in this category.

That being said, when it comes to stopping running back throws, things are rather different.

The Bears, who are among the poorest in the NFL, exhibit a serious weakness here.

They rank last in the league because they give up a startling 7.5 yards per target to running backs.

Their No. 24 success rate versus running back passes and No. 31 EPA per target both point to a serious problem.

The Falcons’ head coach, Arthur Smith, needs to reconsider his approach in light of these numbers.

Running back passes are especially dangerous for the Bears,

even more so than wide receiver passes.

They play a respectable pass defence overall,

but they clearly suffer against running backs in the receiving game.

The Falcons need to use Robinson as a receiver out of the backfield if they want to have any chance in this game.

His skill set might take advantage of the defensive hole in the Bears lineup,

especially with the enticing betting odds.

Robinson’s receiving projections are 3.5 receptions and 22.5 receiving yards,

which might potentially be profitable for wagerers.

The Chicago Bears have a strong defence against running back runs,

but the Atlanta Falcons may be able to take advantage of their weakness in running back passes to win.

In this exciting NFL matchup, Bijan Robinson’s skillful dual role usage may prove to be the decisive factor.
