Where the Chicago Bears rank statistically heading into Week 6
With Week 6 just around the corner, how did the Chicago Bears compare to the rest of the NFL after last week? We take a look at the stats.
The Chicago Bears are preparing for their Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons, aiming to recover from their poor performance in Week 5. In that matchup, Chicago committed five turnovers, including four in a row late in the second half, and managed only a single touchdown. Their defense struggled, allowing Packers quarterback Jordan Love to exploit their lack of pressure and a secondary that had been injury-riddled.
This game seemed to be lost before the second half even began. As Week 6 approaches, how do the Bears stack up against the rest of the NFL this season? According to various statistical sources, here is where Chicago ranked following Week 5:
Offensively, the Bears rank 13th in points per game at 23.8 ppg, 18th in passing offense with 219.2 ypg, and 1st in rushing offense at 173.2 ypg. Their total offense of 392.4 ypg placed them 7th in the league. On the defensive side, Chicago ranks 5th in points allowed at 19.2 ppg, 12th in passing defense at 215.4 ypg, and 9th in rushing defense at 96.0 ypg.
Their total defense of 311.4 ypg ranks them 9th in the NFL. Their red zone conversion rate of 42.86% is the 32nd best in the league, while their red zone defense stands at 58.33%, placing them 13th. Their sack total of 12 ranks 11th, and their takeaways sit at 6, tying them for 17th in the league.
