Through four weeks, the Chicago Bears‘ Khalil Mack has been the best defensive player in football. For some strange reason though, he never picked up any defensive player of the week awards. That’s okay though, because the NFL rectified that oversight by giving him the Defensive Player of the Month award for September.
Here are Mack’s totals from the four games this month.
- 17 tackles
- 5 sacks
- 3 tackles for loss
- 4 quarterback hits
- 1 interception
- 2 passed defended
- 4 forced fumbles
- 1 fumble recovery
- 24 QB pressures (per PFF)
The numbers are only part of the story with Mack however.
