Why To Watch
Injuries have hampered the Bears' defense; it appeared to wear down over the course of last week's loss to the Saints. Without end Phillip Daniels, tackle Ted Washington and cornerback R.W. McQuarters again this week, Chicago will be missing half of its starting defensive line and its best cover man.
That unit generated three turnovers last week and it must continue to make big plays against an explosive and balanced Bills offense. Look for defensive coordinator Greg Blache to take some chances in Buffalo and the result will be Chicago's athletic, fast and physical linebackers flying all over the field. -- The War Room
