The Bears have a chance to be the just the fourth team in the last four decades to lead the NFL in takeaways and commit the fewest turnovers. The 2011 49ers, 2009 Packers and 1997 Giants also accomplished that, and the 49ers did the most with it by going 13-3 and reaching the NFC Championship Game.

They go into their final regular-season game first in the league with 32 takeaways, two ahead of the Jaguars with no other teams close. They also lead in fewest giveaways with 10, followed by the Texans (12), Packers (13), Chiefs (13), Lions (14) and Eagles (14).
