The New York Giants were credited with six sacks on Justin Fields, which brings the season total for sacks allowed by the Chicago Bears up to 16. That’s the second most on a Bears quarterback since 2010 when Jay Cutler was dropped 17 times.
As I’ve written about so often through the years in Sackwatch, pass protection is as much on the quarterback as it is on the offensive line. Chicago’s pass protection on Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants had some issues, and I’ll dive into more specifics later this week, but there were also several plays where Fields had plenty of time.
