Chicago Bears Sackwatch 2017: Week 17 vs Minnesota Vikings

As expected with a rookie quarterback, the sacks allowed during Mitchell Trubisky’s time starting increased from what the Chicago Bears allowed during Mike Glennon’s four starts.

Glennon was sacked at a 5.4% clip, while Trubisky was sacked 8.6% of the time. Pocket awareness grows with experience, and Trubusky will improve the more he plays. Get this kid in a less predictable offense and watch the sacks decrease as well.

Bears right guard Tom Compton was bull-rushed on this play, but can I blame him for the sack allowed?
