10 Jacksonville Jaguars that need to step up versus Bears
. K'Lavon Chaisson, defensive end. 8. player. 52. .
These two Jacksonville Jaguars have to shine for different reasons.
Defensive end K’Lavon Chaisson displayed flashes of pass-rushing prowess and had a pair of solid performances in Weeks 13 and 14. In that span, he registered five hits and three hurries the most this season in a two-game stretch.
However, just like most of the Jaguars’ defensive line, he was a non-factor against the Ravens in Week 14. Chaisson has had a limited role in the last four games and hasn’t played more than 30 spans in any of them. Against Chicago, he will have to have a big impact in a limited role.
Joe Schobert, linebacker. 7. player. 52. . .
The Bears have scored 30 points or more in the last three games, and if the Jaguars’ defense wants to put an end to that trend, they will have to contain quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who has played some really well since he got back into the starting lineup in Week 12 after being benched earlier in the season.
In the last three contests, Trubisky is 65-of-88 for 736 yards and five touchdowns. The Jaguars linebacker corps will be tasked with defending the middle of the field, something Joe Schobert has struggled at times with.
