Windy City Gridiron
Modern football is all about big plays and as a companion piece to the STEP Differential, I’m tracking the Bears big plays all year in this Infogram:
Last year’s tracker is on the second page. Remember that you can click into the tabs on the lower left to see the tally by player and you can hover over any of the shapes on the right hand side of the visual to see a description of each play. Like last year, I’ll color code the plays on the right with the team color of the opponent. New this year I’ve added a timestamp this year to each play.
Quiet day for the Bears as normally I’m adding a lot of colored shapes to the mix. No sacks, only two explosive plays (but only allowed 2!), and two interceptions. The interceptions expand the Bears league lead in that category and the individual interceptions leaders wear navy and orange. Pretty impressive when you stop and think about the front end talent of this group has been in the training room and on the sidelines and not on the field.
