When the Denver Broncos hired Vic Fangio to be their head coach, everybody knew where he was coming from: a Chicago Bears defense that was almost unstoppable.
He led a Bears defense that finished the 2018 regular season with 50 sacks, 27 interceptions, and 19 forced fumbles.
In comparison, the Broncos had 44 sacks, 17 interceptions, and 13 forced fumbles.
Chicago’s leading interceptor was cornerback Kyle Fuller, who had seven. Safety Eddie Jackson had six throughout the year. Pass rusher Khalil Mack had a phenomenal season with 12.5 sacks.
For the Broncos, Von Miller and rookie pass rusher Bradley Chubb had 14 sacks and 12.
