When the Bears’ go-to explanation for Khalil Mack’s down year in sacks is that he’s constantly getting double- and triple-teamed, someone should be cashing in on all that diverted attention.
And the most logical someone is fellow outside linebacker and former first-round pick Leonard Floyd, one of the most gifted athletes in this defense. But that hasn’t happened.
He has three sacks in 690 defensive snaps this season, ranking third on the team behind Mack (6.5) and defensive tackle Nick Williams (six). Ninety-seven NFL players have more sacks this season, and Floyd hasn’t had one in a month.
