Bears let their pass rush slip this offseason…or did they?

Maybe all of the hand-wringing over the Bears’ “issues” in the area of pass rush is misplaced concern or something possibly just a little out of context. Some members of the Chicago defense think so.

Of course, maybe not, since the Chicago defense is approaching the 2018 season without the players who accounted for more than one-third (14.5) of the team’s 42 sacks last season. Sacks might be an overrated stat (thank you, Greg Blache), but seven of the top-10 teams in sacks were in the postseason and an eighth (San Diego) had 9 wins and missed the postseason in a tiebreaker.
