The Chicago Bears enter Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season with an 0-2 record, a start that falls short of expectations for both players and coaching staff. The team now prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys, led by former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus.
The Bears defense has struggled in the early part of the season, ranking among the league's worst. While injuries have contributed to the challenges, the team recognizes the need for improvement. Safety Jaquan Brisker, a key defensive player known for his versatility and aggression, has been vocal about his frustrations regarding his role.
Through the first two games of the season, Brisker has recorded 14 total tackles (9 solo), placing him among the top 15 safeties in solo tackles. However, he has yet to register a sack, interception, pass deflection, or forced fumble, highlighting a lack of impact plays. His limited involvement in playmaking opportunities has led to him to expressing how unhappy he might be.
Brisker shared his desire for a more opportunities by reposting a tweet on social media that advocated for him to be used more aggressively at the line of scrimmage. He added his own comment: "Facts. Use me." This response reflects a broader frustration among Brisker about the defensive scheme and his individual role within it.
A strong performance from Brisker and a more effective defensive outing could help shift the momentum in Chicago. As Week 3 approaches, all eyes will be on how the Bears address their defensive challenges and whether Jaquan Brisker receives the opportunity to showcase his talents more on the field.
