Multiple Bears players speaking on the bad tackling against the Packers.
The Bears struggled so much on Sunday against the dynamic duo of A.J Dillon and Aaron jones. It seemed like every time they touched the ball, they were able to gain a lot of yards. In fact, both running backs combined for 237 yards. It was pretty clear that the Bears were not able to tackle as they needed to, in order to win the game.
"I think we're a better tackling team than we put on tape tonight," said linebacker Nicholas Morrow. "We've got to tackle better. We didn't tackle particularly good, whether it was one tackle or even some of the gang tackles, they were slipping out of them. We've got to do a better job of that."
"We'll definitely hear about it, and we should," Morrow said. "I don't know how many yards they had rushing, but they had way too many and they had way too many last week. It's hard to win games when you let teams run the ball on you"

Safety Eddie Jackson shared the same sentiment.
"We've got to tackle better," said safety Eddie Jackson. "We've got to get the ball out, got to be on top of our keys, myself included. There were a lot of plays we left out there."
You can bet that tackling will be the main focus for Matt Eberflus and his defense in practice this week.
