ESPN's Courtney Cronin provided a more balanced view, noting that after a difficult 7-for-7 red zone period, the Bears offense bounced back with back-to-back completions to Rome Odunze and Zaccheaus during 11-on-11s. She also pointed out the Bears' defensive backs' strong coverage near the goal line.

The Chicago Bears defense dominated from the start against coach Ben Johnson's offense to begin training camp Wednesday as Caleb Williams' first pass was picked off by Tremaine Edmunds.

It's a bit of a throwback to the days of the Buddy Ryan era with Dennis Allen's scheme becoming aggressive instead of always sitting back in soft zones.
