One of the individual match ups to watch on Sunday will be Bears’ LB Lance Briggs and his coverage responsibilities for Colts TE Dallas Clark. Clark dominated the Patriots in the AFC Title game, and he’s a force to be reckoned with, as he’s big and strong, but he can also run down the seam and grab Petyon Manning’s passes with his sure hands.
Briggs can run as well, and he’s almost as big as Clark, so he shouldn’t have a problem being muscled off the ball. However, he needs to make sure that he helps take the middle of the field away from Manning, otherwise Manning will look like a surgeon on Sunday.
