The Bears are the No. 1 turnover team in the NFL by a mile. They create a bunch and don't give the ball away.
That can't cause Matt LaFleur to call a game scared of turning it over.

Matt LaFleur has to be willing to "go down swinging" against the ball-hawking Chicago Bears
Jordan Love got to sling it against the Detroit Lions, but Dennis Allen's defense is the best turnover-forcing team in the NFL. LaFleur can't be too afraid of interceptions to let Love loose again.
