Get ready for this one -- the Bears lead the league requiring 0.49 fewer
plays than their opponents to move the sticks. Bears have an advantage of 3.4 points.
The stat graphic above pictures the key Plays per First Down stat
which measures a lot of important stuff like "play error free ball,"
and "momentum" and "just get the job done."
It took Coach Lovey Smith just 2 seasons to build this efficient
measure of importance. The yearly stat graphic below shows how
quickly a team can get to the Big Game.

A most reliable indicator of a team's improvment the Bear's
performance shows that in every recent season, when the plays per
first down stat moves up or down the team's fortune moves with it.
