CHICAGO -- The Minnesota Vikings' issues in pass protection a week ago, in a game where Sam Bradford was sacked six times, came in part through zone blitzes they were unable to block. On Monday night, the Chicago Bears didn't have to work that hard to pressure Bradford.
According to ESPN Stats and Information, the Bears blitzed Bradford on just three of his 42 dropbacks Monday night, but pressured him on 12 of them. They sacked him five times, hit him on nine others and limited him to 116 passing yards on 23 attempts in the first three quarters of the game, during which the Bears built a 20-3 lead.
