The Chicago Bears have now allowed their most sacks since Mike Tice was coordinating the offense for head coach Lovie Smith in Chicago’s 10 win 2012 season when they allowed 44 sacks. That year they gave up sacks 8.3% of the time and this season it’s only 7.0%, so at least Matt Nagy has that edge over Tice.
I won’t even get into how much better Tice’s offensive numbers were that year when compared to Nagy’s this season, so let’s get on with the Sackwatch!
