Chicago Bears Sackwatch 2021: Week 4 vs Detroit Lions

It’s going to take a few weeks of limiting their sacks allowed to get the 2021 Chicago Bears Sackwatch back to a respectable place, but only giving up one sack week 4 against the Detroit Lions is a good start.

Their overall game plan was much more conscious of protecting the quarterback this week as opposed to whatever idiotic plan the Bears threw out there two Sundays ago against the Cleveland Browns. Sure there were plenty of film breakdowns done last week showing instances where rookie Justin Fields could have got rid of the ball quicker, but it would have been much smarter to protect their young franchise QB with more six and seven man protections, more play action, more of a commitment to the running game, and more moving pockets.
