A secondary thing on that play was Melton resisting the temptation to throw a block that would almost assuredly been a penalty.
Maybe that's "fake tough" too...

I like the plan of trading down and ending up with a receiver not named Harrison Jr. and an offensive lineman. Just gotta get Fields some help!

I can’t imagine what the Bears would even get for him. I guess it only takes one team to view him as a starting caliber QB.

I think yesterday’s game guarantees they draft a QB.

I get that a lot of it was the offense sustaining drives, but to hold any team out of the endzone (esp without a bunch of TOs) is impressive.
I know we’re playing more man lately, but we did vs CAR too so wtf. I really feel like there isn’t always consistent effort.

I don't know if the analytics back this up, but it seems that the pressure was more aggressive and more unpredictable. I know I found myself surprised on a few occasions when they rushed with 5 guys and/or blitzed with an MLB, and it looked like the Bears were caught off-guard as well.
Having Jaire back obviously helps bring more pressure, as others have pointed out, but they've had Jaire many times before and still played too passively. I think there was so much pressure on Barry after the Panthers game that he finally just relented and deviated from his stubborn dogma. I also think it's possible that he was told he had to if he wanted any chance of keeping his job.
Also, Brooks is good. His effort and motor are in sharp contrast to the bigger, more talented guys who might just be getting by on their god-given gifts and don't really care that much about football (Wyatt this year, Reed last year for example).
