The Chicago Bears have prided themselves on having one of the best defenses in the league, and they have linebacker Khalil Mack to thank for a big portion of their step up this season.
The All-Pro edge rusher has been an intimidating presence rushing off the edge this season. With nine sacks in 10 games, he has wrecked havoc on opposing quarterbacks on a consistent basis. His ability to penetrate the backfield has also opened up opportunities for his teammates, as he has taken on several double-team blocks, which has allowed players like Akiem Hicks and Leonard Floyd to have numerous one-on-one situations against blockers.
