6 Chicago Bears stats that every fan must know from their Week 6 victory

10

While it was the Bears offense that ultimately stole the show in London, the defense was making big plays all day and finished the game with 10 combined turnovers, sacks, and tackles for loss.

Between an interception by Josh Blackwell, an excellent Peanut-punch forced fumble by T.J. Edwards, five players combining for four sacks, and four players with a tackle for loss, the Bears' defense was physical up front and on the back-end, and never allowed the Jaguars offense to find their rhythm or hold it for too long.

With these big plays, the defense was able to hold their opponent to 21 points or less for the 12th game in a row, the best streak in the NFL. Even though this game did not have several interceptions or an unfathomable amount of sacks, the Bears defense continued to show how elite of a unit they can be, even with the secondary banged up.

3.4

While the Bears' defense made big plays invariably throughout Sunday's win, their true strength was their consistency against the run, where they allowed just 3.4 yards per carry.

The Jaguars lost running back Travis Ettiene early in the contest, but Tank Bigsby had had a productive start to the season before rushing for 24 yards on seven carries against the Bears. Lawrence was the team's most efficient rusher with 17 yards on four attempts, and when taking away his ground production, the Jaguar's yards per carry dips closer to 3.2.

In all, on 20 rushing attempts, the Bears allowed just 68 yards and no touchdowns. Shutting down the run is also essential, but especially so when enterring a game without two starting defensive backs in Jaquan Brisker - who is great against the run - and Tyrique Stephenson. Nickelback Kyler Gordon also left the game due to a hamstring injury, so if the Bears were a little weaker against the rush early, the Jaguars would have potentially had more opportunities to take deep shots throughout the contest.

61.5

Rookie punter Tory Taylor was not called upon much on Sunday, but his two first-quarter punts truly flipped the field thanks to a 61.5-yard average.

With two three-and-outs to start the game, Taylor was involved early and was able to put the ball inside the ten twice, although both kicks were returned for about 15 yards. Still, had Taylor not reset the Jaguars' starting field position, they may have been more able to capitalize on the Bears' early offensive woes.

On the contrary, the Jaguars' offense had to drive the length of the field against the Bears' defense, a task that is easier said than done. With Taylor having such a large influence on field position and, therefore, the probability of scoring, it is encouraging to see the Aussie make big plays even when the offense is doing their thing.
