An already strong Bears defense got only better with the acquisition of elite pass rusher Mack before the season. With Mack and Akiem Hicks wreaking havoc up front and Eddie Jackson and Kyle Fuller providing big plays from the secondary, the Bears allowed the fewest points in the NFL this season and appear to have the defense best equipped for a long postseason run starting with Sunday's home game against defending champion Philadelphia.
