Chicago Bears Pass Protection Analysis on the Sacks Allowed vs Vikings

Flores' overall 75.9% blitz rate through two games is the highest in the NFL by far, with the second-highest coming from the Carolina Panthers at 48.1%. In case you were wondering, the Bears blitz the sixth most at 40.3%.

But again, it's not just the frequency of the blitz; it's the design. Flores is really good at his job. Chicago didn't know who was rushing or from where, and no stat showed that better than this.

Last play of the half, and the Bears were just trying to get a big chunk. The Vikings were showing 6 threats, and the Bears elected to slide protection left, leaving outside linebacker Dallas Turner (#15, circled) unblocked off the Bears' right side (and Caleb Williams ' responsibility). The Bears must have figured Minnesota would drop one of the four inside defenders out, but they didn't know who.
