Bears 2020 vision: Investment perhaps due in DL room, but it's about as stable as any unit

Error 0:

Chicago was without lynchpin Akiem Hicks for 11 games and missed fellow starters Bilal Nichols and Eddie Goldman for four combined games with injuries yet allowed an average of 3.9 yards per carry, ranked 6th in the NFL and only one-tenth of a yard more than in 2018, when their top four lineman missed a total of one game.
