Welcome in to another edition of the Under Center podcast on NBCSportchicago.com.

0:11.3

I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined here in a cult closet at Hallis Hall by John Moon Mullen.

0:16.5

Moon, it's another week of evaluating Mitchell Chubisky, but we're going to focus a little bit more about the Ravens game and game number two for Tribisky.

0:25.9

So let's start with this. Let's just jump into it.

0:28.6

The Bears continue to lose the takeaway battle and the turnover battle in game after game this year.

0:34.4

They even lost it. Monday night, Chubisky had, you know, the sack

0:37.7

strip fumble and then the interception. Bears did not turn the ball over on defense. This is,

is, you expected more from the pass rush, which creates turnovers, and it just hasn't happened,

1:23.1

which I think is fatal. You know, and look, the Bears run defense is good. It's solid.

1:28.0

They've done a good job shutting down.

1:29.9

Some good running backs, you know, Devante Freeman, Levyon Bell.

1:33.3

But the past defense, you'd think that with the overhauled secondary, adding in Eddie Jackson

1:39.7

in there, has very good ball skills.
