The New England Patriots and Chicago Bears come into tonight’s game each with a record of 4-2 for the season. Neither team is in the leading spot in their divisions. The Patriots are sitting behind the 5–1 Bills, and the Bears are behind the 5-0 Vikings and 4–2 Packers. Both teams do have positive point differentials, so let’s take a look at where they stand on offense this season.
New England Patriots:
- 374.2 yards per game on offense, good for seventh in the league.
- 10th on offense in passing yards per game at 243.5
- Averaging 130.7 rushing yards per game, sixth in the league
- In the bottom half of the league with just 22.7 points scored per game.
Chicago Bears:
- 5th in the league with 388.3 points per game
- 15th overall in passing yards at 227.7 per game (Caleb Williams missed three games)
- The best running team in football with 160.7 rushing yards per game.
- 25.0 points per game, 12th in the league.
The Bears might have a bit of an advantage in the running game, but both teams clearly like to run the ball. The parallels don’t stop there because both are effective through the air as well.
