The Chicago Bears entered Week 9 as heavy favorites against the struggling Buffalo Bills, and did exactly what many expected them to do. Having to go up against a Bills offense that was 31st in the NFL in yards per game, 23rd in rushing, dead last in scoring and passing, and who has surrendered the fourth-most sacks (29), the Bears (5-3) took full advantage and came away with a commanding 41-9 victory.

This win was definitely spearheaded by the defense. With three interceptions, four sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and two touchdowns, Chicago’s defense did more than enough on their own to put another win in the win column. On the other side of the ball, the offense took a couple of steps back from what they’ve done in previous weeks. The Bears gained a total of only 190 yards of offense, and committed a lot of team’s 14 penalties on the afternoon. Despite that, the offense did score three touchdowns.

With another dominating win added to their record, how well did Chicago grade across the board for Week 9?
