On Sunday against the Detroit Lions, the Chicago Bears gave up seven sacks, which gave them the most through 16 games since I've been tracking them in Sackwatch. The seven sacks taken by Justin Fields now gives him 55 this year, which is a new single-season record for the Bears, surpassing the 52 that Jay Cutler took in 2010.
Chicago's 57 sacks allowed is third all-time in the team’s history behind last season’s 58 and 2004’s 66. Looking ahead, the Vikings are tied for 18th in the NFL with 37 sacks, and they are 24th in defensive sack percentage at 5.
