Last week Authentic Anthony Miller Jersey , the Miami Dolphins resorted to eight-man pass protection, so desperate were they to slow an onslaught against quarterback Ryan Tannehill.task when Miami faces the Chicago Bears on Sunday in a matchup of first-place teams headed in opposite directions.The Dolphins (3-2) are trying to patch up an injury-depleted offensive line and rebound from consecutive ugly losses. They could be without Tannehill, who is questionable because of a throwing shoulder injury that first bothered him last month.By contrast the Bears (3-1) are well-rested after a bye, riding a three-game winning streak and alone atop the NFC North for the first time since 2013.Newcomer Mack has led the Bears into first place by dominating on defense. The two-time All-Pro end has five sacks and is tied for the NFL lead with four forced fumbles. He has at least one sack and forced fumble in each game. And the Dolphins might have to confront him without left tackle Laremy Tunsil, sidelined last week by a concussion.Here are things to know about the first meeting between the teams since 2014:CONTAINING KHALILNo team this season has been able to keep Mack off the quarterback."He's just playing at a different level than anybody that I've seen," Miami coach Adam Gase said.Now Mack faces a team staggered by season-ending injuries to two starters in the offensive line, followed by the loss of Tunsil. He was badly missed last week, when Tannehill was hit 11 times in the second half as the Dolphins blew a 17-point lead at Cincinnati. The Bengals' pass rush was so overwhelming Miami had almost everyone on offense blocking, and even that didn't work.Mack is well aware a harried Tannehill committed two turnovers that were returned for touchdowns."You watch the film," Mack said. "You also know that he's a good athlete and he makes a lot of plays."But in each of the past two games, the Dolphins' offense has scored only one touchdown and Tannehill has thrown for less than 200 yards."He's getting hit too much," Gase said. "I've got to find a way to get the ball out of his hands, get guys open quicker Authentic Mitchell Trubisky Jersey , or figure something else out."If Tannehill can't play, he would be replaced by Brock Osweiler or David Fales.RIDING HIGHThe Bears' most recent game, a 48-10 win over Tampa Bay, was their most lopsided victory in six years. A win over Miami would give Chicago its longest win streak since a six-game run in 2012."I just know our work's not done," linebacker Danny Trevathan said. "I've been in the situation. It's good when you win. You want that feeling, but you want it to keep going. We were talking early, some of the older guys, about not getting complacent. You know, it's been a long time since it's been like this around here and we want it to stay this way."BUILDING BLOCKComing off a breakout game, the challenge for Chicago quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is to show it was no fluke.Trubisky threw for six touchdowns — one shy of the NFL record held by Bears Hall of Famer Sid Luckman and seven others. It was the sort of performance the Bears envisioned when they traded up a spot to grab him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft.Trubisky had never previously thrown for more than two touchdowns.OVERSHADOWED DEFENSELost in the Dolphins' collapse at Cincinnati was a solid performance by the defense, including young linebackers Raekwon McMillan and Jerome Baker."We're definitely moving in the right direction," Baker said. "It's exciting to see all of us making plays and playing well as a defense. You just have to constantly improve and the rest will handle itself."TUTELAGEWhen Gase was the Bears' offensive coordinator in 2015, among those who helped him prepare to become a head coach was Vic Fangio Womens Prince Amukamara Jersey , who is still Chicago's defensive coordinator."The amount of conversations we had in the year that I was there, it helped me grow a lot as to how I looked at things from an offensive perspective," Gase said. "I really appreciated the amount of time that he would spend if I asked him a question about what he thought. He's tough to go against."AP Sports Writer Andrew Seligman contributed to this report.Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: /Steve_WineBears release 2018 jersey schedule The Chicago Bears released their jersey schedule on Instagram on Monday night.
