Bears allow no sacks, turnovers, or offensive touchdowns for first time since 1998

The Chicago Bears secured a crucial victory on Thursday night, achieving something they hadn’t done in 25 years. According to Ryan Taylor of NBC Sports Chicago, the Bears achieved a rare feat by not allowing a sack, a turnover, or an offensive touchdown for the first time since 1998.

This unique combination of statistical accomplishments has been a long time coming for the Bears. Even in their previous instance of achieving this, they only managed to secure a narrow three-point victory over the one-win Panthers. Nevertheless, a win is a win, and the Bears now have three victories this season.

Despite some suggesting that the win undermines the Bears’ chances of securing the first overall draft pick, their victory over the Panthers actually increases the likelihood of obtaining it. This is due to a trade that gave the Bears the Panthers’ first-round pick in exchange for the opportunity to secure the first overall pick.

With seven losses already, it may be too late for the Bears to make a significant playoff push. However, their recent victory represents progress and could help them avoid major changes at the end of the season.

The Bears’ upcoming schedule includes trips to Detroit and Minnesota, followed by a bye week and consecutive games against the Lions, Browns, Cardinals, Falcons, and Packers. While potential wins may be on the horizon, it’s unlikely that they’ll be enough to secure a playoff spot.
