With Eddie Goldman rejoining Akiem Hicks and Bilal Nichols, can the Chicago Bears defensive line set the tone for another special defense?

“He’s been checking in, checking in on my family, which you appreciate, and it allows you to form a connection outside of football,” Nichols said. “And that is very important. And then when we come in here, he pushes me. He pushes me past my limits, and I appreciate that. I’m a guy that has high goals for myself, and he wants me to reach those goals, so I appreciate that from him.”
