Take a look at what Chicago Bears players and coaches had to say ahead of Sunday's matchup.
On DE Maxx Crosby:
"In my opinion, he's a top five player in this league on defense and probably doesn't get the recognition that he deserves. He's all over the place, relentless, high motor and you've got to account for him and know where he's at every single snap or else he'll get ya. He wrecks drives. That's what he does." – Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson
"He's Maxx Crosby. He's something that you need to be aware of for every single play and understand the type of player that he is and how much he can affect the game, how much he does affect a game and a game plan." – Bears quarterback Caleb Williams
"He's a very unique player. ... When building a plan, obviously you have to have awareness of where he's at at all times. He's a phenomenal player. He plays with great effort. That's the biggest thing about him that shows up on the tape. He's slippery and you just have to have an awareness and on every single play, you've got to have a plan for how we're going to handle him." – Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle
On RB Ashton Jeanty:
"He's a hard guy to bring down, compact, yet powerful. You better have low pad level when you're looking to tackle this guy or else he's going to lower his shoulder and run you over. He's got that mentality. He brought it with him from college. You see it through the first three games of the season so far where he's fearless." – Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson
"He's a violent runner. He gets into the second, third level of the defense, he's seeking out contact. He runs extremely hard. I think he's an outstanding player. He's got great vision, really good feet and he runs tough. He runs violent. And so, you've got to get a lot of hats around the ball on him." – Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen
On TE Brock Bowers:
"Bowers, I think, is an exceptional tight end. He runs really good routes. He's got good speed. He's good at the contested catch point." – Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen
On QB Geno Smith:
"Geno's played a lot of football. He's been in a lot of different systems, he's seen a lot of different things and I think he's playing at a high level." – Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen
On Head Coach Pete Carroll:
"I've got a ton of respect for Pete Carroll. He's been doing this for almost 30 years, whether at the college level or the NFL and I think he only has four losing seasons. That's a credit to who he is. The teams take his identity. They play hard, they play fast, they play physical, they fly around. I know that he'll have this group ready to go here this week." – Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson
"I've been in a division with Pete Carroll before. They're always good on [special] teams." – Bears special teams coordinator Richard Hightower
