It may seem like the Chicago Bears have been playing with more balance the last three weeks since Mitchell Trubisky was reinserted as the starting quarterback, but they’re still throwing it at a higher rate than last year.
Matt Nagy’s Bears, like most NFL teams these days, think pass first.
Through 13 weeks this season, only three teams run more than they pass, and 25 teams have better than a 55/45 pass/run ratio, with 14 teams passing more than 60% of the time.
In 2019 the Bears threw the ball 61.3% of the time (11th highest percentage in the NFL), and this year that number is at 65.
