The Patriots put in a dominant defensive effort against the Bears holding Chicago’s offense to 142 total yards in Week 10.

New England controlled the line of scrimmage and held Chicago to its lowest point total of the season in the dominant 19-3 win.

“It starts up front,” Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters at Soldier Field, per team-provided video. “I think that’s what we have to do. We have to go out there and reestablish the line of scrimmage and we were able to do that in all three-and-outs.”

The Patriots held the Bears at 1-for-14 in third down efficiency and sacked No.
