The Chicago Bears only allowed two sacks to the Miami Dolphins last Sunday, but Justin Fields is still on pace to set the Bears’ all-time record for getting sacked in a season. That record is held by Jay Cutler in 2010 when he was dropped 52 times.
But some positive Sackwatch trends as Chicago’s league-leading sack percentage is down again this week, from 16.3% to 14.9%, and the Colts now lead the league with 35 sacks allowed after the Patriots got Indy QB Sam Ehlinger 9 times.
Also, the Bears’ next two opponents, the Lions and Falcons, have only 12 sacks each, which is the second fewest in the NFL, so Chicago’s pass protection could stabilize and gain some confidence these next two weeks.
