Khalil Mack, Kyle Fuller and Eddie Jackson all were selected for the incredible honor. Meanwhile, Tarik Cohen earned the honor for his punt returning abilities.
Mack dominated all season and finished with 12.5 Sacks, 10 TFL and 6 Forced Fumbles in 13 games. Kyle Fuller finished with 55 total tackles, 7 Interceptions and 21 Passes Defended. Meanwhile, Eddie Jackson finished with 51 total tackles, 6 Interceptions and 2 Defensive Touchdowns.
The Bears defense dominated all season long in large part to these three individuals.
No matter what the outcome is on Sunday against the Eagles, the future is incredibly bright for the Chicago Bears.
Bear Down.
