Three thoughts.
(1) Twice in the last twelve years was the Super Bowl champions not in the top ten in points scored. And both of those teams – the 2015 Broncos and the 2008 Steelers – were the best defenses in the league by a wide margin.
(2) The average points-scored ranking of the other ten teams is 5.8. The 2020 Bears are 28th. The 2019 Bears were 28th. The 2018 Bears were 9th, because their defense scored points. Then the defense stopped scoring them.
(3) Do you think the Bears are even close to being one of the ten best scoring teams in the league? Like…even close?
