Here's how Chicago Bears put Leonard Floyd in position to end sack drought

Leonard Floyd's long national nightmare is over.

The No. 9 overall selection in the 2016 NFL draft recorded his first full sack in 385 days Sunday in the Bears' dominant victory over the Detroit Lions.

"I wanted it, but I wasn’t going to force it," Floyd explained after the game. "I was just going to come out, play great technique and whatever happened, happened."

What happened: Floyd beat Lions RT Rick Wagner with a devastating spin move early in the fourth quarter before bear-hugging Matthew Stafford, a curious technique which Floyd hilariously explained to us in the locker room afterward.
