4. Tarik Cohen vs. the Packers

The human joystick couldn’t be left off this list. The Bears are developing a great pair in the backfield. Jordan Howard has said he’s working on his catching out of the backfield, but for the time being Cohen not only creates space on the outside with his rushing but is an easy target for quick outs.

For a 5-11 Bears team, Cohen was one of the brightest spots, with highlight plays that lit up Twitter seemingly week in and week out.

After completely re-working the offense in the offseason to give top targets to second year man Mitch Trubisky, Cohen could become even more dangerous in 2018.

The Packers are built to score. The Bears are sure with the Mack addition this defense is going to turn heads. This has all the workings of a slugfest on Sunday Night Football. If the scores rise, Cohen will be a part of it, that’s for sure.
