The Chicago Bears didn’t allow a single sack on Sunday Night Football. That’s a positive in the otherwise horrible night of football. Here’s another, the Dallas Cowboys only hit Bears’ quarterback Brian Hoyer one time.
In my years of doing the Sackwatch, I can’t recall that ever happening.
I’m not saying the pass protection was flawless, because it wasn’t, but the fact that the pressures were kept to a workable minimum, and that the gameplan called for quite a few short passes, and the Bears may have found the recipe for a serviceable offense.
Then again, they were playing a poor Dallas front that isn’t exactly the Doomsday Defense, so we’ll have to see how they fare this week against the Detroit Lions to know if the pass pro has turned a corner.
