Five Bears defenders record sacks of Russell Wilson in first half

CHICAGO -- The Bears defense is making life miserable for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Five different Bears' defenders sacked Wilson in the opening 30 minutes of Monday night's matchup at Soldier Field, including All-Pro pass rusher Khalil Mack, who was also credited with a forced fumble that Seattle ultimately recovered.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Bears blitzed Wilson five times in the first half and pressured him on 37% of his drop backs.

The Seahawks, who are without starting wide receiver Doug Baldwin, had just five first downs and 79 total net yards as Chicago led 10-3 at halftime.
